“On Sunday, I started to develop mild flu-like symptoms. As I am diabetic and over 55 years of age, I know I am at a higher risk of developing a more serious illness. I therefore went to be tested to determine the cause of the symptoms on Monday.” “However, given my risk category, I will be carefully monitoring my health to make sure that any change is picked up quickly.” “The Western Cape has been working around the clock to ready our healthcare system for the increase in cases expected over this time, and we will not let our foot off the pedal. The fight continues,” said Winde.
