MENS raak deesdae eintlik keelvol vir Covid-19 wat al die nuusblaaie vul. Die negatiewe nuus vul baie met vrees en neerslagtigheid, maar dan skyn daar ligpunte, soos die nuus van die Gamtoosvallei se eie isolasie-eenheid.<\/p>\n

Met die aanvang van die Covid-19 pandemie in Suid-Afrika het dr. Adi-Marie Schoeman en vier ander algemene praktisyns van Patensie, Loerie en Hankey besef dat daar \u2018n daadwerklike poging aangewend moet word om pasi\u00ebnte wat nie tuis kan isoleer nie, \u00earens te huisves. <\/p>\n

\u201cPort Elizabeth is 100km van ons af, en dit maak eenvoudig nie sin vir \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt om so ver te reis net vir isolasiedoeleindes nie,\u201d s\u00ea Schoeman. \u201cOns het besef ons sal moet aksie neem om ons boerderygemeenskap te beveilig en te versorg \u2013 ons haal lemoene af \u2013 ons kan nie bekostig om \u2019n groot-skaalse pandemie hier vrye teuels te gee nie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schoeman en haar kollegas het spoedig koppe bymekaar gesit, hande gevat met verskeie sitrusboere, en die Kouga-munisipaliteit se ondersteuning verwerf. \u2019n Ou Eskom-gebou wat in onbruik verval het, is beskikbaar gestel, en stelselmatig omskep in \u2019n spog-eenheid waar Covid-19 positiewe pasi\u00ebnte met groot sorg en waardig-heid hul isolasietydperk kan deurbring. <\/p>\n

\u201cBaie mense in ons gemeenskap woon in klein huisies, en dit maak dit moeilik om te isoleer as jy jou woning met \u2019n groot gesin deel,\u201d verduidelik Schoeman. \u201cDie virus is vir ons mense maar \u2019n slegte ding. Mense is bang, en daar kleef \u2018n stigma daaraan \u2013 hulle huil sommer as hulle getoets word.\u201d<\/p>\n

Met nagmerrieverhale van Oos- Kaapse inwoners wat elders in onmenslike toestande in isolasie aangehou word, is hul vrese nie ongegrond nie, maar inwoners van die Gamtoosvallei kan na dese gerus wees dat hul lot nie dieselfde sal wees nie. <\/p>\n

Met die finansi\u00eble ondersteuning van onder meer plaaslike boerevere-nigings is die Eskom-gebou behoorlik oorgedoen. Matte is uitgehaal, die gebou is binne en buite uitgeverf, badkamers is behoorlik ingerig, voldoende beskermende drag is bekom en beddens en beddegoed is, danksy skenkings uit die gemeenskap, in gereedheid gebring.<\/p>\n

\u201cDit was regtig \u2018n gemeenskapsprojek, en almal het \u2018n aandeel hierin gehad,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n trotse Schoeman, wat vertel dat die isolasie-eenheid ook oor suurstofkonsentreerders beskik. \u201cOns het selfs data met die vergunning van \u2018n plaaslike internetverskaffer, en \u2019n sekuriteitsmaatskappy het vir ons \u2018n alarmstelsel bewillig.\u201d Die Departement van Gesondheid het intussen bevestig dat die fasiliteit aan al hul vereistes en standaarde voldoen.<\/p>\n

Intussen het Schoeman besluit om die neerdrukkende gees van die pandemie met kleur te beveg. \u201cEk het \u2019n klomp tafeldoekmateriaal gehad, en \u2018n bedrewe naaldwerkster by een van ons plaaslike boere het vir ons vrolike werkuitrustings hiermee gemaak,\u201d lag sy. <\/p>\n

Haar dogter, \u2019n leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Brandwag in Uitenhage, het terstond besluit di\u00e9 vrolikheid moet behoorlik gevier word, en sedertdien het Schoeman en haar kollegas \u2019n Internet-sensasie geword wat die virusvrese op hul plek sit met behoorlik gechoreografeerde danspassies.<\/p>\n

\u201cOns is so dankbaar dat hierdie fasiliteit vir ons gemeenskap op die been gebring kon word met die hulp van onder andere Spes du Preez en Marius Kleyn van die Patensie en Hankey boereverenigings,\u201d juig Schoeman.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
