Updated | By Steve Bhengu
A second man believed to have been part of a group of holidaymakers that arrived back from Italy recently, has been isolated on his Mt Edgecombe Estate.
It's believed about 10 people went on the ski trip including children.
In an exclusive interview with Newswatch, the estate's management has confirmed that the man is currently at home and awaiting the arrival of communicable diseases and health experts later today.
"I have been in contact with the residents via email and newsletter last night just saying that we are aware of the resident.

The resident still has not been tested, we are waiting for the NICD to arrive and do the testing and as and when I get further communication, we will share this with the residents."
The Estate's Desiree Stone says for now they're restricting some movement in and out of the estate until further notice from health officials.

"What we have done now is blocked all biometric access and I'm in contact with various companies who are often assisting on spraying down things, touch points and things like that."
It would be awesome to rather have proper feedback from the authorities to tell us exactly what to do, they have got the expertise in that field. We are doing whatever we think is best at this stage."
