"All City of Tshwane health facilities routinely conduct daily screening and sanitisation before entering the buildings, as part of the Covid-19 prevention strategy. 

 

"The two nurses wore appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) daily and they, together with the EPWP worker, observed prevention measures, directives and protocols related to Covid-19."

 

The clinics are expected to reopen on Monday.
