Premier David Makhura said on Thursday that the total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the province as of May 20 was 2,400, with 1,729 recoveries and 27 deaths.
“We had a fruitful engagement with more than 160 CEOs to evaluate their compliance with the level 4 protocols and assess their readiness for level 3,” he said.
There are 8,301 beds available in private and public hospitals in the province for Covid-19 patients - but Makhura cautioned that this was “not enough”.
