Western Cape Premier Alan Winde says the province is bracing for a surge in Covid-19 infections and has taken a cue from elsewhere by planning temporary hospitals to deal with the pandemic. Infections in the province are rising exponentially, but even so the first two deaths today came as a shock as they were 28 and 48 year old women*, people supposedly not within the highest risk demographic. On Friday there were seven hospitalised cases of Covid-19 in Cape Town and based on projections, many more are expected. In this podcast, Winde shares how the Western Cape Government has prepared for the expected onslaught, emphasising how critical it is to strictly adhere to the 21 day lockdown.
