Four cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed at Motherwell NU2 clinic in Gqeberha, however the department isEastern Cape Department of Health spokesperson, Yonela Dekeda says all the new cases have been referred to the outreach teams for contact tracing and testing.
Dekeda says, at this stage it is unclear if the cases are linked to the newly discovered XBB 1.5 variant, which is still under research. She says the department will continue to monitor the infection throughout the province. “There have been four confirmed COVID-19 cases at Motherwell NU2 clinic for the month of January 2023. This number consists of three staff members and one patient, none of them showing any life threatening symptoms, with some not experiencing any symptoms at all. Decontamination and debriefing of the staff was conducted on Friday for an hour after which operations resumed immediately.
According to the World Health Organisation , symptoms of this sub-variant are similar to those of previous Omicron strains, where most people experience flu-like symptoms. XBB.1.5 is currently the dominant strain in the US and has been detected in at least 28 other countries. The Department of Health has again appealed to people to vaccinate, get boosters and observe non pharmaceutical interventions.
This is the government fault by not closing the International tourists borders not goods and services. Cyril and his command & specialist team didn't learn with the first variant. When they went and pick our students in Wuhan. That was the 1st control measure. What's up ANC
Let me guess, the EC government needs to sanitise the pavements and potholes, for the tender of R 1 billion
Please let the lockdown begin
