Meanwhile on Friday, during his media briefing in KwaZulu-Natal, Health Minister, Dr Zweli Mkhize said South Africa has shown some progress in slowing the rate of spread of the coronavirus, but the battle against the disease is far from over. The minister also announced that the number of positive cases has increased to 2003 with 24 deaths.
He says many of the 24 people who have died from the coronavirus also had other underlying conditions such as heart disease, cancers and pneumonia, 410 recoveries and some 73 028 tests were conducted. Mkhize said the public and private hospitals will be working together in the fight against COVID-19. He warned South Africans not to become complacent about the pandemic, saying that the country is facing a delayed storm with the COVID-19.
“To defeat COVID-19 is no longer an issue of a nurse and a doctor it is actually about society it is actually about going in a combat zone and fighting this infection I do want to say that at this point the indications we have as President has indicated are very promising but we did say before while we see some very promising elements in the response it is still too early and therefore if there’s any turn in the events in the outbreak we may not have other warnings so I think it is important...
Always just reporting mfano 😩🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤮🤮
Unathi_Kwaza The stats does not warrant a total lock down.
Eloxesha people are not taking this seriously bazifunela ukunxila qha
10 white patients tested positive be more specific than hiding the disease to make us think its only for blacks by saying out loud when blacks contracted this shit
Does testing positive automatically qualify one for intensive care Or these pple were already ill Just trying to understand. Coz l also hear one can be positive without any symptoms
God please save the life's of children we hope with your power you can Amen🙏
