DA calls for unhygienic conditions at Covid-19 designated Tshepong Hospital to be urgently addressed
20 April 2020
Note to Editors: Kindly find attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by DA North West Spokesperson on Health and Social Development, Gavin Edwards.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in North West is appalled by the unhygienic conditions that persist at the Covid-19 designated Tshepong Hospital in Klerksdorp.
Patients suspected of contracting Covid-19 are being placed in forced isolation at the hospital for days on end while they wait for their test results while the hospital does not have clean running water. See video here.
For the last two days there has been no water at all.
