CAPE TOWN - A stark warning from the Western Cape’s head of health on Thursday is that the province is expected to overtake Gauteng as the epicentre of COVID-19 infections in the next few days.
Cloete explained that the province's mass screening strategy involved the active seeking out of cases. He referred to it as an approach with an “investigative slant”. “Mainly these [clusters] have originated in a few supermarkets and in a few workplaces, and in two factories with actually quite big numbers of people,” he said.
Diabetes, inadequately managed hypertension, heart disease and respiratory illness all create a higher risk of complication, and by implication, death.
