The number of Covid-19 patients at what was Durban's busiest private hospital since the start of the pandemic is “extremely low”.
A source told TimesLIVE that the last Covid-19 patient at St Augustine's Hospital was discharged on Thursday.
Netcare hospital division MD Jacques du Plessis said Covid-19 admissions at all the group's hospitals were low.
“We can confirm that the Covid-19 inpatient numbers are extremely low at present in most Netcare facilities. The situation is however fluid,” he said.
