SA is likely to face a crisis due to a shortage of ICU beds when the Covid-19 storm lands wreaking havoc and claiming at least 40,000 lives.
It is estimated that by the end of November, 40,000 people will have died and there would be hundreds of thousands of infections.
Both Mkhize and the team of experts stressed that the figures were not set in stone and were subject to new and more credible data becoming available, along with SA's response to containment measures. Mkhize also appeared to downplay the grim picture painted by the experts in relation to the availability of ICU beds.
