The West Rand alone this week has had a combined 169 new infections, and Gauteng Premier David Makhura said this is a great concern.
Gauteng Premier David Makhura said following meeting with mining houses on the West Rand on Wednesday together with Gauteng health MEC Bandile Masuku, they want mining houses to test all their employees.
Makhura says the West Rand has now been identified as a hotspot as a result of the significant increase in Covid-19 cases over the past week. “We will direct all the necessary provincial support and also ask for national support to contain the spread of the virus in the mines,” Makhura said.
