The decrease in new COVID-19 infections in Gauteng means hospitals are now able to cope with increasing alcohol-related trauma cases.
But, Acting Gauteng Health MEC Jacob Mamabolo says these beds will need to be used for COVID-19 cases if there is a surge.
“The decrease in the number of admissions, freeing beds in the hospitals meant for normal activity, it means those beds are now available to accommodate other patients that would need to be admitted, including those that go into trauma.”
Mamabolo also added that there are ongoing meetings in the health sector to resolve the PPE saga.
He says there will be weekly meetings on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) procurements for the remainder of the pandemic.
The province has been plagued by allegations of irregular tender processes.
The Health Department confirmed 3, 707 new cases in the 24-hour hours.
Gauteng is still recording most of the new cases daily.
The country now has just under 90,000 active cases, with a recovery rate of 83%.
