#COVID-19 third wave: The cracks are showing as some Gauteng facilities are starting to buckle under pressure
Yet another Covid patient admitted
Short-staffed Gauteng healthcare facilities are scrambling to secure more resources as the number of daily infections continues to climb in the province.
As the third COVID-19 wave starts to gather momentum, some Gauteng healthcare facilities are beginning to buckle under pressure as an ever-increasing influx of patients is stretching resources and pushing staff to their physical limits.
Lenasia South District Hospital has recorded more than 20 positive COVID-19 tests per day and more than 100 a week since the beginning of June. *Dr Dimakatso Shabangu said that the hospital has been forced to request additional healthcare workers from other facilities to cope with the surging cases.
