120 out of 325 virus hospital admissions in WC are in ICU or high care

As of Thursday, 120 out of the 325 hospital admissions in the Western Cape were in ICU or high care, the provincial government said in a statement.

It has also recorded 77,310 tests and 129 deaths after the province recorded an additional 12 Covid-19-related deaths. “As a result, we have been able to serve 1.2 million take-away meals to children across the province, serving an average of 65 000 children each day for the two days per week of feeding,” Premier Alan Winde said.

This after Ramaphosa announced on Wednesday evening that parts of the country would be moving to level 3 of the risk-adjusted strategy – which aims to open up the economy while managing the spread of the virus – at the end of May.

Would be interesting to know the areas, sex abd age and the kind of hospital

Thats a huge number in high care, its bad. Western Cape is about to go through first wave storm. I hope they are given all necessary resources

There is no need for Western Cape to receive the national attention. They have shown that the care less about their live and care more about smoking and jogging. Just leave them out
