Jade and George Wyngaardt and their four young children recovered from Covid-19 at the seafront hotel-turned-quarantine site. They were discharged after 12 days at the facility.
George tried to arrange a doctor’s visit for Jade, but none would see her. Instead, she was referred for testing. They were offered a free test at Dis-Chem the following day, but decided Jade could not wait and they paid R1,800 for a Pathcare test.On Thursday, her test came back positive. George called the coronavirus hotline, which is run by the Western Cape department of health. He and Jade spoke to the doctors manning the line.
Jade and George were both surprised by this decision. They struggled to find out more about what this would mean. Eventually, Jade stumbled on an online document of health department regulations and protocols for quarantine sites, which set their minds at ease.
