The incident has the elderly residents of the facility, located in the Durban city centre, fearing for their lives. The facility had not been accepting visitors since the lockdown began
Chief executive Femada Shamam said the woman had complained of body pains and a high temperature on Sunday and was rushed to Addington hospital for tests before being placed in isolation while waiting for her results.“We urge all elders and family members to remain calm and follow the protocols and directions issued by the building management and the health officials as we seek to initiate the contact-tracing procedure and isolate all affected and impacted staff and elders,” she said.
A resident, who would not be named, said they feared that more people at the facility may have been infected since the woman’s husband is a handyman. “The woman’s husband helps in fixing electrical appliances. No one knows how his wife got infected since we have all been on lockdown and are not allowed visitors. We don’t know how long she has been infected,” the woman said.
