Cape Town - There has been a call for Western Cape residents to take extra caution when engaging with the elderly as there has been a recent increase in Covid-19 infections in old age homes.
Western Cape MEC of Social Development Sharna Fernandez said in the space of a week, active Covid-19 infections among residents in old age homes have more than doubled from 32 cases on December 14, to 78 on December 21.
“I once again urge the public to proceed with extreme caution when engaging our seniors. It is up to each of us to act responsibly, so that we can protect not only ourselves, but others too,” said Fernandez.
