CAPE TOWN – Western Cape Prime Minister Alan Winde warns that the worst of the second wave is yet to come.
Provincial infection, hospitalization and death rates have risen rapidly in recent weeks, and in the wake of the runaway numbers, Winde himself has advocated stricter lockdown regulations.
He said the provincial government had been working with the same plan they used for the first peak to handle the pandemic, but the discovery of a new, faster-moving variant of the virus forced them to rethink many of their plans.
“Globally, people are learning and we are definitely still learning. We wonder why Nelson Mandela Bay and Garden Route first and what are we learning from those areas that we can apply to the rest of the Cape and the rest of South Africa?”
Winde said her job was made even more difficult by the many questions that remained about the virus.
“What are we learning about Cape Town right now to see what is happening? Khayelitsha is an anomaly and why? We scratch our heads at the same time and people are also under great stress and that is why We had to sort of a question: can we have two weeks to allow ourselves to reboot? But it’s definitely not done yet. “
