With one in every nine people in the Western Cape testing positive for Covid-19, the province could soon quarantine those who live in high-risk areas and are at risk of complications.
“What we’ve also been impressed with is the speed of response because we now need to finish our beds quicker than we initially thought we would need them. That means that the work that is going on is really gearing up for the huge surge and storm that we still expect is going to be felt in this part of the country. And off course it will come through different parts of the country,” he said.
“There is also going to be an effort to take those who might be at risk or vulnerable and put them into quarantine where it’s possible, so that you can actually reduce the risk of those who can be exposed,” he said. “Out of that process they will then be visited and be tested before they even get sick or before they get infected, so that we are able to really move ahead of the infection curve,” he said.
