Cape Town - The Western Cape province has recorded 18 more Covid-19 deaths, bringing the total number of deaths from the virus in the province to 183.
The national Department of Health figures for the Western Cape differ from those announced by Winde daily because the national figures are compiled from data supplied before the provincial figures are announced.The premier said that he had provided a detailed update on the provincial government’s preparations for the Covid-19 pandemic. He said the scientific reason for the lockdown, and which has been made clear by experts, was to buy time to prepare for the peak that would inevitably come.
Winde said to date, it had received 28 500 calls since the March 16, at an average of 500 calls per day. The Western Cape Government would open additional temporary hospitals along the R300 in the Metro, in Khayelitsha and in the Cape Winelands that collectively provide an additional 616 beds. "In the public sector we have provided 86 129 flu vaccinations thus far – 65 670 vaccinations to vulnerable groups of people and 20 459 vaccinations to healthcare workers.
