WESTERN CAPE NEWS - Premier Alan Winde said in a media statement today, that he warmly welcomes the news that the number of recoveries at old age homes in the Western Cape continues to increase.
According to the statement:
I warmly welcome the news that the number of recoveries at Old Age Homes in the Western Cape continues to increase. These residents are at high risk of severe Covid-19 illness, and so this extremely good news.
I would like to join Minister Sharna Fernandez in thanking all our Old Age Home facilities for the role they have played in saving lives, and to urge them to assist us in registering as many residents as possible for vaccination. The Covid-19 vaccine has been rigorously tested internationally and locally, and offers excellent protection against severe Covid-19 illness and death. It is safe and it is effective, and it will help us finally end this pandemic.
