"I don't know if I am the only one, I am really scared, I'm terrified, I'm sad. I can feel it in the air and I am sure I am not the only one", he said. 

Somizi, who himself got tested for coronavirus last week went on to say, "I just want to urge again guys, the joke is over. Let us do whatever we can to help combat or conquer or win this war. The coronavirus is real. If you have no reason whatsoever to leave home, please don't".

The "Idols SA" judge went on to say that people should not be embarrassed on how strict they are about looking after themselves. 

"If there is a gathering and you have to go, please don't be afraid or embarrassed to really be strict about how you take care of yourself and others. This thing is real", he said.
