SANDF members to help Gauteng in COVID-19 fight

A delegation from the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has arrived at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital.

The SANDF has been deployed to assist in the province’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This comes as Gauteng is battling to contain the third wave of COVID-19 infections.

The Gauteng Department of Health says the SANDF will augment the staff complement in the province. More than 5 000 people are currently hospitalised in Gauteng with more than 12 000 deaths having been recorded since the start of the pandemic.

Gauteng Premier David Makhura says Gauteng is on fire when it comes to COVID-19 infections and has appealed to people to take the lockdown regulations seriously.

“This place is burning with coronavirus and our message is very very clear that everywhere around the province there is no exception the test positivity rate is extremely high now, we want to say to people that the chances of getting infected are extremely high wherever you are.”
