SA lockdown: Western Cape ready for Level 3 – Alan Winde

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde says the province is prepared to move to Level 3 of the lockdown. This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the country will move to Level 3 on 1 June. You rely on those medical specialists who say – this is what you have to spend your money on and this is what you have to put in place. You must also rely on other specialists.

“Even though it is the same specialists saying, we can’t only focus on COVID-19 – we have TB patients, heart disease patients and they also need to be looked after. You have to find that balance. Definitely Level 3 is where we need to be going,” he said. The Western Cape has over 15,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 330 deaths.
