Cape Town - The Western Cape has recorded 393 positively confirmed coronavirus cases to date, with the majority of cases - 321 - in the Cape Town metro, Premier Alan Winde said. As of 00:01 on April 1 the total number of active cases in the province was at 370.

"As of this morning, 20 people in the Western Cape had been admitted to hospital, with seven in intensive care facilities. While these numbers are manageable now, every single resident needs to join our fight against the coronavirus so that we can save lives, particularly of those who are most vulnerable to this infection- the elderly, and those with underlying health problems who will be worst affected," Winde said.

"For our part, the Western Cape Government is currently looking at a number of sites and facilities across the province that we will be able to bring online as temporary healthcare facilities and quarantine and isolation sites. Residents who have experienced incidents of brutality are urged to report these (the appropriate numbers are listed below).

Services to victims of crime and violence are deemed essential and thus departmental and civil society organisations will continue to provide them, including shelter and psychosocial support. A dedicated bus route to various hospitals has also been implemented as from today in order to ensure that healthcare workers are able to get to work safely and on time.There has been much debate globally about whether it is recommended to make use of a facemask during the Covid-19 pandemic.
