Gauteng Premier David Makhura says public health facilities may not be able to deal with the increased number of people who want to be screened for the coronavirus. CoronavirusInSA FightCOVID19 sabcnews

Gauteng has the highest number of confirmed cases, currently at 61 out of the 116 cases nationally.

“I see there’s now panic, people are now streaming and flooding into our public health facilities. People are rushing to hospitals even those who are not likely to be exposed to this virus are all rushing to our facilities. That level of panic will outrun our facilities. We will not be able to manage large numbers of people who are streaming into our hospitals,” Makhura warns.Funerals and weddings

He says Gauteng is the most vulnerable as the province is densely populated and has the most developed transport. Makhura says he will meet with religious leaders in Gauteng on Friday as part of government’s effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.

David_Makhura is preparing the voters for ANC failure

So I guess the public health facilities ain't ready for this virus

They will not be able to deal with the situation. Our hospitals are in a deplorable state. Not the staff they are superb!

Employ staff finish and klaar

That's no problem as juli-arse is going to nationalise the private hospital on the behalf of government. (This is what happens when you don't know the difference between 10% and a majority). We will soon be paying in bond notes

Then nationalize all hospitals and clinics, exactly like Italy and Spain has done. But because SA exists solely for the profit of private firms, this is unlikely to happen.

Recently I said on your post that the country wasn't equipped for this. All kinds of wise guys came on spouting wisdom to the contrary with gems of knowledge, understanding and insight, batting me down on the pretext of 'discussion and wanting to know', but not from me.Well!

How many millionaires in the country bt fail to donete money so we can be help mara

Why not?

I thought y'all said are ready

JohnMphatsoe tlo bone

🤣🤣🤣🤣that was expected from our Government moss

Seems pretty pretty stupid now to have wasted billions on SAA and eskom hey? especially since SAA will collapse now with nobody flying anyway. Instead of investing into our health and education sectors.

This Makhura guy eban where is the Bandile n Zweli eban cr17 hear Gp damn it

This is MYANC : 1. We are ready for CoronavirusInSA 2. Self quarantine, wash and sanitize yo hands (other communities have no water 💦) 3. Travel ban, management plan etc 4. We are not able to deal with coronavirus screening. Wtf..! Nigeria response was better

It’s all cause of the ANC stealing everything, now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Our CEO doesn't want us to use mask and gloves

Last time i checked, we were 'READY'....what went wrong👨‍💻?

Neli_Ngqulana Our problems are getting bigger by the day.
