CEO Nomkhita Nqweni said on Friday the fund is moving to the second phase of its intervention, which is largely focused on health work and the health response.

The Solidarity Fund’s head of health care, Jonathan Broomberg, said while the Western Cape seems to have peaked, many provinces, especially Gauteng and the Eastern Cape, are heading into a peak so the fund needs to focus on the health response.

The department of trade, industry and competition said on Friday that the CSIR has started production on an order of 10,000 ventilators that will be delivered over the next two months.
