“Yes, we pledged to serve but we did not pledge to go and die” - so say nurses at Stanger Hospital in KZN. This as nine mothers, four doctors, two newborns and one nurse, test positive for Covid-19. | DailyNewsSA Day41ofLockdown
This was according to a nurse working at General Justice Gizenga Mpanza Regional Hospital , which was closed to new admissions after the hospital recorded 16 confirmed Covid-19 cases - nine mothers, four doctors, two newborns and one nurse.“Apparently the boarder mothers wrote a letter to Dr Zweli Mkhize, complaining that they had tested positive for Covid-19 at the hospital.
The nurse also alleged that a patient had been moved from the Covid-19 ward before his results came back from the laboratory. When they did, he had tested positive but was already in another ward. “The first known Covid-19 case involves a mother, who reportedly did not disclose that her husband was one of the positive cases linked to a supermarket chain store, in Ballito. She was housed at a boarder mothers’ lodge at the hospital, where other mothers soon tested positive,” said Simelane-Zulu.
Simelane-Zulu said the rest of the staff were tested on Monday and on Tuesday, which also allowed for the decontamination of the facility.
