Cape Town was ranked 79th out of a group of 1,000 cities worldwide for managing the Covid 19 pandemic.
Cities in 100 countries’ response to the pandemic were taken into account by Startup Ecosystem 2020, an online data processor.
Deidré Baartman, DA spokesperson on finance, economic opportunities and tourism in the Western Cape, said the recognition Cape Town received reflects the commitment of Capetonians as well as the Western Cape government’s hard work to serve communities during the pandemic.
Baartman said in a DA statement that Covid-19 arrived without any blueprint of how governments and the community should handle it.
