The DG will continue his stay at Port Police Station until Thursday when Magistrate Maloti will deliver a ruling on his bail application.
Mr Saburi maintains that he was never directed to stay in quarantine for 14 days when he returned from a trip to Germany, where he is believed to have contracted the infection.
Through his lawyers, he challenged the prosecution to produce evidence on the claim that he violated a self-quarantine directive.
