Message to residents of the Western Cape:
30 March 2020
The Western Cape Government is hard at work to ensure that we are able to mitigate the impact of Coronavirus on our residents and communities, from a health, economic and humanitarian perspective.
The safety of our residents is our number one priority. It is for this reason that we once again call on all residents to abide by the lockdown regulations. It is only if we all stay at home, that we will be able to stop the spread and ensure our systems are able to respond to this global pandemic.
Update on Khayelitsha patient:
The Western Cape Government is aware of a message circulating containing false information. The patient has been receiving appropriate care as from yesterday, and has had access to in-hospital facilities, including catering. This was a temporary measure while an appropriate isolation facility was being explored.
