Makhura said engineers had advised that some parts of the hospital could be used.
“In addition to the money we allocated to the health department, R1.5bn, we have decided to retain 5,000 healthcare workers brought in for Covid-19. We still need more staff, the healthcare workers are under pressure. We have said to the [national] health department, 'as we get more beds, we need to get more staff'.”“The pandemic is everywhere. Please stay safe. Don't think 'we went through the first and second wave and I didn't get sick'.
”“There are people still struggling with the impact of Covid-19 they got in the first wave. Our health system does not focus on those. We focus on those who are immediately infected and need hospital admission. There are a number of people really struggling. The system needs to deal with long-term effects.”“Engineers said it's only block 4 as a whole that was structurally damaged and only a part of block 3 and parts of block 5.
