Premier Alan Winde said the province has now approved the Whole of Government Covid-19 Hotspot Strategy for the City of Cape Town, where the numbers are increasing.
The Western Cape has recorded an additional four coronavirus deaths, bringing the total number of deaths in the province to 106.Winde said the plan sets out how the provincial government will utilise and coordinate its various government departments, together with the City of Cape Town, in one unified response to coronavirus hotspots.
“Our response to hotspots, which involves slowing the spread of the virus, and protecting vulnerable people most at risk, requires the combined impact of our government and the City of Cape Town to make a real difference,” said Winde. Winde said only 6% of known coronavirus deaths in the province had no comorbidities, while over 65% of patients who died had more than two comorbidities.“While the above facts indicate that vulnerable groups are most at risk, this does not mean that those who are younger, or those in good health, should not worry. Not only could you help spread the virus, and infect someone who is vulnerable, you could also get seriously ill, or even die, as has been the case in rare circumstances.
