South Africa has 240 infections, with Gauteng at 125 followed by the Western Cape at 74. The Gauteng government plans to distribute one-million bars of soap to residents of the province over the next week in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
On Saturday, Premier David Makhura distributed bars of soap to residents of Diepsloot. He says Gauteng residents are vulnerable because the province has the country’s largest population. “Twenty-five percent of South Africa’s population is here. We have densely populated settlements but we are a port entry for aviation, for air travel and so there are many, many factors, if we take everybody to take responsibility, to take measures, help to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, we will succeed as a nation,” says Makhura.
The remark came after the United States gave the go-ahead to test a malaria drug called Chloroquine as a treatment for the virus. Mkhize says some local medical professionals are part of the team that is working on developing the vaccine“In any community, 60 t0 70% of the community will be affected by the virus. We can’t hide that. So I say to the religious leaders, most of us we are going to have this virus. South Africa most of us will have this virus. It doesn’t mean that then it’s going to be a sever disease to all of us. It will be severe to the 20%.
It's not easy to do so
We have international airport what do you expect
The government should take serious precautionary measure ...the transport is the main spreading platform of the virus and for those infected check the ones close to them before they spread the virus too.
We are all concerned. Question is what are you going to do about it?
I don’t understand why they pretend to be concerned when people who can actually work from home are not offered that opportunity 🙄 Maybe someone should die 1st before they take this virus serious
Fuck the concern and lock down
I think all the provinces must be locked down... We're not safe.
No such thing to us.
And so whats their plan being concerned only not enough
Rich people are living in those 2 provinces now we are in deep trouble because of those mother fuckers
Abramjee David_Makhura
Lockdown please this is NOT being alarmist. He who hesitates is doomed.
LockDownGauteng and not for 2 weeks let it be more than that.
If Rwanda is locked up after reported only 17 cases of Covid-19, what are we still wait for 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Just LockDownGauteng, think about townships like Alaxandra if one person gets infected we are doomed. The province does contribute a lot terms of the economy but, you can surely stand on 8 legs let the other one rest for the time being.
With domestic travelling still open to all, how long before other provinces stats start rising? The Whole World is affected by this disaster......why the hell are you procrastinating? People Will Die!!!
OR Tambo.... the answer lies there, duh
Government doesn't have good controls in place. Lanseria Airport are not scanning people. Also the province needs a lock down
This Chineseflu and this weather the test may be wrong sometimes...coz normal flu as all the symptoms that Chineseflu does.
Being concerned but dololo actions will not make the virus go away. Total shutdown of the whole Country is needed NOW!
Those travelers always in the flights to UK France Italy China...are the cause...
Ga kere most traveling businessmen stays in GP. And all other tourists goes via GP to other destinations. GautengProvince
The sooner we lock down the sooner we will flatten the curve... Again government procrastinate CyrilRamaphosa
Relax, CVD19 is over in Gauteng. There wont be a new case! Jesus heard our prayers 🙏🙏
lock down now or face Italy like problems
Slow to think, slow to act where it matters most. Africans always wait for disaster to strike first. Zimbabwe across the bridge, is already treating the pandemic horribly bad, trying to hide the cases, to make themselves look like all is ok and under control. Region is messed up
There should be a total lockdown in every province... According to the stats we are not doing good n it becoming scary...
In GP they different kinds of people their understanding is not unique
Cant there be a shutdown at tollgates? Let everyone stay in a province until further notice?
Lock Gauteng down!
Well Gauteng has the highest population. So why wouldn’t it have the highest number of cases?
Sad part is that after Easter holidays. Most of the pl who r in Gauteng would have spread it to the other provinces mainly Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KZN n north west
lets look at this its almost all imported cases because SA did not enforced travel bans in time and OR Tambo is not doing enough allowing SA Citizens to come home from red zones add to this numbers 🙄
I think Gauteng should be locked down
