Denosa says Gauteng has nurse shortage

Gauteng's Health MEC Nomathemba Mokgethi insists the province has the capacity to cope with the increasing number of hospitalisations due to Covid-19. The province is currently the epicentre of the country's third wave. In the past 24 hours, Gauteng has recorded over 8,500 new cases - its highest daily number yet. The 7-day average is just as concerning, at nearly 7,000 cases. 5,000 people have been hospitalised, and there are reports beds are running out.
