GRAPHIC | Western Cape cases rise to 1 778: Why Cape Town is the new national hot spot
“The CTICC has agreed to waive the hire cost of the venue, as part of its contribution to the fight against coronavirus. The temporary infrastructure build, operating and catering costs for the initial hire period will total approximately R47m,” Winde said.
“This amount excludes the costs that the Department of Health will incur in providing clinical equipment, oxygen, medication and temporary staff for the temporary hospital.”
CTICC CEO Taubie Motlhabane said they welcomed the opportunity to be part of the solution “during these extraordinary times”.
The temporary hospital will cater for patients presenting with milder clinical signs in need of hospitalisation and treatment including administration of oxygen, but not to those with severe clinical signs requiring intensive care treatment.
*Note: Due to different reporting times, provincial numbers released will differ to the national numbers for given provinces by a few cases per day.
