Thirty-five residents and 17 staff members of a Goodwood home for the aged tested for positive for Covid-19 in a massive scare that seems to be abating, manager Andre Verster said on Sunday.
A 97-year-old resident of the Protea Home for the Aged is still in hospital but there are signs that the resident will beat the virus.
“We are on day nine already. Nobody had symptoms,” said a hopeful Venter, who manages the home. “So I think we are out of the woods.”Families are not allowed to leave care packages for their loved ones during the isolation period.
