Over 1600 healthcare workers in Gauteng positive for Covid-19 via TheCitizen_News
As of Friday, 26 June, the cumulative number of healthcare workers in the Gauteng public health system that have tested positive for Covid-19 is 709, the health department revealed.
“Factors contributing to this trend are inward migration, the largest population , increased congregating, which spurs cluster outbreaks, and the level to which people are able to adapt to new behaviours, such as social distancing and the wearing of masks,” he said. “The fact that there were 14 388 new Covid-19 cases recorded in Gauteng in 11 days, between 11 and 22 June, points to a worrying trend,” Gauteng provincial secretary Tshepo Mokheranyana said.
