Concerned Mkhize unleashes big guns to deal with Covid-19 in Eastern Cape
“More people will continue testing positive as the worst is yet to come. But our dedicated workers are ready, willing and able to deal with this outbreak. As such, more people will recover from this virus so we need more people to be tested so they can be treated,” Gomba said in a statement.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize is expected to officially release the figures. Of the 4 793 positive cases Mkhize announced on Monday, 588 are in the Eastern Cape.
Kupelo urged locals to continue staying home and to adhere to the lockdown regulations, wash their hands and keep a safe physical distance.
“That is how we will beat this because the virus moves when people move. We need to be disciplined and be law-abiding citizens. The regulations are there to save lives.”
