A new return-to-work norm in the battle against Covid-19

From the clinic in the dusty streets of Phuthaditjhaba, to the halls of Steve Biko Memorial Hospital in our nation’s capital, our doctors and nurses will be surrounded by casualties.

We have watched some of the most advanced hospital systems around the world, be it in the UK or in New York, put to rout by the virus. By delaying this exponential rise, which left unchecked would have seen our health care sector overwhelmed, we have already scored key victories in this war. Through our partners at the department of trade, industry and competition, we have secured tens of millions of units of personal protection equipment for our health care workers.

The lockdown has exacted a toll on our economy, and has meant sacrificing personal freedoms so that we may save lives. This has been a bitter pill for many of our countrymen and women, knowing the history of our land and of our people, where the attainment of these freedoms was hard fought during the battle against the apartheid regime. But sacrifice for the benefit of the greater good is an inalienable pillar of what it means to be South African.

We will all be called to fight this battle in some small way, the conscription of each us helping to push back Covid-19 and ensure our country will prosper once we have emerged victorious.
