A suspected Covid-19 patient collapsed while coughing in a road in Hout Bay after reportedly being turned away from a clinic, according to a local non-profit company.
Keri Cross, director of Community Crime Prevention in Hout Bay, said her team responded to the incident early this week. “Our emergency response was first on scene... The man was coughing up blood... and his family member with him told the he had tested positive for Covid and had been back to the clinic for the last three days worried and scared and they sent him away," Cross said.
Cross said her team witnessed a Metro Ambulance crew without personal protection equipment attend to the patient. "The ambulance left him at the clinic , waiting outside on a chair,” Cross said.
