Gauteng’s infections have increased dramatically from 17,261 to 63 404 in a matter of days. The province now faces a major increase in fatalities, The DA in the provinces says we should prepare for mass burials and a mass lockdown is being touted – but not confirmed. There are also concerns that the province is not as well prepared for an influx in coronavirus cases as the Western Cape is. There are five quarantine sites in the province, while no field hospitals have been built and the shortage of beds is expected to reach 5,000 in two weeks.
