Guest : Eleanor Roberts | provincial chairperson at DENOSA |

President Cyril Ramaphosa, last week issued orders to the Western Cape government to
find more doctors and nurses to help deal with the increasing number of Covid-19
hospitalizations in the province.
This as the Covid-19 case rate in the Cape continues to soar. As of yesterday (Monday 8
June 2020), the province had 33 568 positive cases with 1080 deaths and over 26 000
recoveries across the country.
This no doubt has had a negative effect of the virus on the province’s healthcare
workers. Several nurses and hospital support staff have already died as a result of the
virus.
