Covid-19: Public and private sector should respond as one team - Mkhize | ntwaagae Covid19inSA CoronavirusinSA
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has called for coordination and constant communication between the public and private sector in dealing with issues during the coronavirus crisis."It is important for us that we approach the outbreak the same way. Any lapse from any of us is going to be a flaw in the entire outbreak response. It doesn't matter whether you are public or private, we have to do the same thing and have to do it properly.
As far as St Augustines in concerned, the hospital has been closed. There are no new outpatients. The fumigation process has started. The hospital needs to contain the patients within and monitor the Patients Under Investigation."Our meeting with private hospitals have been fruitful. There will be compliance with all guidelines from the NICD and when the government steps in and investigates, it will be met with cooperation," Mkhize said.
