When we do this, we will save lives. I know it is hard, and we are tired – but I have faith in every person in this province to play this in important part in our pandemic response.
We have implemented the use of high flow nasal oxygen in both Tygerberg and Groote Schuur. A total of 121 machines required for this are available, with 43 more on order. We have bolstered our tracking and tracing by bringing the Western Cape Government call centre online to assist with this. The call centre team has made contact with almost 6 000 individuals for tracking and tracing between 1 June and 2 July. In each of these calls, quarantine and isolation in one of our facilities is offered.
We have developed a sophisticated data system to track infections over time and develop a data-led strategy in our fight against Covid-19 in this province. We share our daily data update via a public dashboard to keep our citizens informed of our progress. The workstream reported that over 130 000 food parcels , and nearly 200 000 daily cooked meals have been provided to beneficiaries in the province by a combination of civil society organisations, faith based organisations, private donors, SASSA, the Solidarity Fund, the Provincial and National Departments of Social Development, the Western Cape Education Department, municipalities and businesses.
We have participated in dedicated radio shows to engage with the public on key topics such as quarantine and isolation and stigma. The School Nutrition Programme has been up and running since learners returned to school on 1 June and feeding for all learners, even those not yet back in class, has been provided.
