Gauteng premier David Makhura says the provincial government is working with the private sector and NGOs to boost healthcare personnel and bed capacity in the province.

Prof Bruce Mellado, a member of the premier’s advisory committee on Covid-19, giving an update on the third wave and projections, said all Gauteng districts are at high risk.“If the next two days continue to deviate from the predictions, it means that the infection rates may be out of control and tighter measures will be needed,” he said.

In her presentation, Dr Mary Kawonga, chairperson of the committee, said eight days into alert level 3,weeks for the full effects of the surge to be visible.Makhura said shutting down the economy was not possible. He said the hurt that would come with closing the economy would be immense. “We cannot shut down the economy, we cannot ask the national council to shut down the economy. We cannot afford to shut down the economy. Slowing down the pandemic is in our hands,” he said.“We want law enforcement officers to be everywhere to ensure that regulations are adhered to. We have to clamp down on the disregard of regulations in Gauteng.”
