It would be cause for concern if it started spreading in the South African public healthcare system, where infection control (or doing their work) is not a high priority for many staff (http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?pid=S0256-95742010000700009&script=sci_arttext http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?pid=S0256-95742010000700...).
On the other hand, private hospitals have the same, or similarly trained nurses, who do a great job. So hopefully the nurses' self-preservation instincts will kick in, and similar levels of isolation to those found in advanced healthcare systems will be deployed quickly if it starts spreading in the public healthcare system.
