Nehawu provincial secretary Ayanda Zulu confirmed it had met the MEC for Health, Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, to discuss measures to curb the spread of the virus at the hospital
“While there is no shortage of PPE in the Covid wards, we requested that staff in the theatre and trauma units also be supplied with PPE, as they are dealing with emergency admissions, so those patients have not been tested for Covid-19.
“We agreed with the MEC that it is important for staff to have the necessary PPE, as well as holding awareness campaigns,” Simelane-Zulu said. The union said the decision contradicted many of the other regulations and had huge potential to collapse an already under pressure health sector.“The 100% taxi loading capacity contradicts the notion of social distancing. It makes no sense to have commuters observe social distancing at work yet are expected to sit in close proximity in a minibus taxi en route to their various work places.
