Western Cape Health Minister, Nomafrench Mbombo said in a statement:
“With cases of COVID-19 spreading throughout the province, doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers are on the frontlines of the pandemic as they care for these patients in our hospitals. The best way we can thank them is by staying home.
“Our medical students are also pitching in to provide Coronavirus education on the phone. They are facing enormous challenges, yet they are responding with courage, resolve, and professionalism. Their dedication is a true inspiration.
“Today, I would like to thank our EMS staff, physicians, nurses, community health workers, and all healthcare workers and support staff who are caring for the most vulnerable among us.”
