Cape Town - While the Western Cape Government has made quarantine and isolation facilities available for resident to use to help curb the spread of Covid-19, according to Premier Alan Winde there is a struggle to occupy these facilities as residents want to stay in their own homes.
"Our strategy has been to proactively identify sites across the province, and to prepare them for activation should the need arise. This can be done quickly, as the demand for these facilities emerges. Some of the questions that are being asked by people who are unwilling to take up the offer to isolate or quarantine in these facilities are:Can I drink alcohol at the facility?
"We have also re-purposed the Western Cape’s contact centre to make outbound calls to confirmed cases and contacts of these cases to encourage them to take up these facilities.
