South African hospitals are currently not overwhelmed by the Covid-19 pandemic, acting director-general of the Department of Health, Anban Pillay, said on Monday. According to one of the graphs he presented to the committees, based on figures as at 25 April, 353 patients were in hospitals around the country, the highest being in KwaZulu-Natal at 143.
Mkhize said the current thinking on treating Covid-19 patients places “less rush to putting people on invasive ventilators”.

'Not even remotely close to overwhelmed' would be more accurate, actually.
