The tracing teams were out today making sure that we are tracing everyone that’s in contact with this individual and we are creating space so that we can create isolation for the individual and the family,” says Winde.About a thousand bed spaces are due to become available in the Cape Town CBD in the next few days, to accommodate homeless people.
