Shopping malls, Sassa offices, funerals and private hospitals — these are the drivers of the Covid-19 infections in Nelson Mandela Bay.

Mbengashe said an epidemiological assessment of the metro had identified that funerals, shopping malls, Sassa offices and private hospitals were Covid-19 hotspots.

National police spokesperson Brig Vishnu Naidoo said decontamination of the police station would start soon. “Last week, we raised this with our line managers but they did not take us seriously. We even went so far as to report the matter directly to her immediate supervisor, and still nothing happened.“We went to fetch a few of her things from her house before driving her to Livingstone Hospital, where she was immediately admitted into ICU.

“We’re talking with our colleagues at social development about Sassa offices and something is being done. Mbengashe said traditional events were also drivers of infection. Mkhize said he was initially concerned about four things when it came to the Eastern Cape’s Covid-19 response: strategy, protective personal equipment, human resources and infrastructure.
