Some of these will serve as quarantine sites for repatriated South Africans, where they will be required to undergo mandatory isolation before being allowed back to their families.
Speaking during a briefing by the economic cluster on Friday, Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Patricia de Lille, said her department has been for all eventualities and the worst case scenario by having enough quarantine facilities available as the need arises and should the number of people who need to be quarantined increase dramatically.
"Of these 1 751 facilities, 642 are state-owned facilities and 1 109 are privately-owned. In the Western Cape for example which is currently the epicenter of the virus, there are 358 facilities that have been identified representing more than 27 500 beds. Some of these sites have been assessed and confirmed as compliant and been activated and the Department of Health is in the process of assessing the remainder of the sites," she said.
"To date, 395 facilities nationally have been assessed by DoH and are compliant according to the Department of Health’s requirements for quarantine facilities, representing 35 759 beds," De Lille said.
Mrs. Chicken Fence😅😅😅😅
Where is the mask
Hope they are quality facilities that meets W.H.O standards
Hopefully they don't use PatriciaDeLille R37million chicken fence to keep them inside
Hope you were not left alone to procure... your fence did not do too well at the border
Brace yourself for the influx... I'll just be watching the space.
Rocky Horror picture show...... still Cele is missing
Will you be orginising the fencing as well PatriciaDeLille ?
