Durban - As the number of Covid-19 cases approaches its peak, the KwaZulu-Natal Command Council is confident it has built enough capacity to handle the infection rate and death toll.
Cole said the lab would provide further notifications when it had built up enough capacity to accept these referrals. “Where a hospital experiences an unexpected staff shortfall, the facility may be temporarily placed ‘on divert’ for emergencies, in which case emergency medical services providers are notified and other hospitals in the area provide cover. Emergency medical care will always be provided and patients would be transported to and treated in another of our hospitals which have capacity.”
Van Loggerenberg added that its provincial hospitals had also seen increased admissions of Covid-19-positive doctors and hospital staff. Other Covid-19 facilities in KZN were the Royal Showgrounds in Pietermaritzburg, Clairwood Hospital and Richmond Hospital in the Midlands.
