On Saturday, the Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital in Lenasia, Gauteng, confirmed it had admitted its first Covid-19 patient.
The hospital’s group marketing manager, Michelle Naidoo said: “The patient has been isolated and is being treated in line with all National Institute for Communicable Diseases guidelines. The patient did not advise of their ‘suspect patient’ status on arrival at the hospital and has subsequently exposed a doctor and employees. These employees and doctor have all been quarantined and all necessary precautions taken.
She added: “Lenmed and hospital management would like to appeal to the community for full disclosure of their Covid-19 status at all times. We will be seeking legal advice where full disclosure has not been forthcoming.”“The safety of our patients, employees, visitors, doctors and community members is our priority. Our staff and facilities are prepared for the Covid-19 outbreak. Our procedures are aligned with the NICD guidelines.
