Witrand Hospital in Potchefstroom reportedly has 14 Covid-19 cases. Out of fear some staff vehemently disagree to continue working until the management address it.
One of their staff claims personal protective equipment (PPE)was not given to them even before news of the infections at the psychiatric hospital came to light.
We are not given any PPE. You are given one surgical mask to use the whole day.” Source said
It was reported that a staff of the hospital and a patient had died due to COVID-19.
However, this has not been confirmed by the department.
MEC of health for Northwest Province, Madoda Sambatha visited Witrand hospital on Friday morning where he met with management and is expected to give feedback.
