Staff at the Tower Psychiatric Hospital in Fort Beaufort believe they're being kept in the dark about COVID-19 deaths at the Eastern Cape hospital.
At least 10 patients have died in the past two months and the employees suspect their deaths were COVID-19-related. They say the hospital management has not been honest.Eight staff members from the ward that were tested were found to be positive.An employee said they have shared public transport with some of their colleagues who tested positive for the virus and yet, has not been tested.
"So COVID-19 would obviously cause an increase in the number of deaths. But these are COVID-associated deaths."
