Health minister said the risk of resurgence was 'high', particularly after a super-spreader event in the Western Cape.
“All of us must take this responsibility and always encourage those around us. We must also take heed of the major lessons from Covid-19, that is: despite the anxiety, the psychological trauma, the physical suffering and grief from lives we lost, Covid-19 has reawakened our deep values of ubuntu in us all.
“We have been reminded to care more, love more, empathise with our families, friends, colleagues and even those we hear about in the media. This is the same spirit that we must carry in fighting all other social and health ills facing our society, including gender-based violence,” he said.Message From Dr Zweli MkhizeI wish to take this opportunity to appreciate all the well wishes that my wife and I have received from you, my fellow South Africans, colleagues and friends from all over the world.
“I’m also very pleased that my wife has been discharged from hospital today and will now be joining me for quarantine at home. “In a war, when an injured soldier lies down to recover, injuries do not remove his mindset from the set goal to win the battle. He uses such an opportunity to reflect on the battle and also to think ahead for when he rejoins the army. Like a soldier, I find myself in that position as we continue to fight this battle against Covid-19 as a country.”
