Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has called on the national
\ngovernment to move the entire province to Alert Level 3 of lockdown in
\nconjunction with their targeted hotspot plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This follows President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s announcement that
\nby the end of May most areas in the country will be placed on Level 3, except
\nfor areas with high infection rates \u2013 may however have to remain on Level 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western Cape is currently the epicentre* of the corona
\nvirus with more than half of South Africa\u2019s 12,074 recorded infections and altogether
\n117 deaths occurring in the province, as of Wednesday 13 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Winde says the Western Cape has adopted a data-led,
\nevidence-based approach to the Covid-19 response, with targeted All of
\nGovernment interventions in hotspots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese hotspots are not whole provinces or even districts.
\nThey are geographical areas where people live, down to street-level. This is
\nthe plan that we presented to the National Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize
\non Saturday, and which had already been adopted by our cabinet,\u201d said Winde in
\na statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has welcomed the fact that the targeted hotspot plan has also
\nbeen adopted by national government, as revealed by the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith our health care system prepared, it is simply no
\nlonger possible to maintain Level 4 restrictions anywhere in the Western Cape
\nor South Africa. The economic crisis caused by these restrictions has resulted
\nin a life-threatening humanitarian disaster that will only worsen in the months
\nahead,\u201d Winde said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Cyril Ramaphosa will not visit the Western Cape
\nthis week as scheduled after Premier Alan Winde was quarantined as a
\nprecautionary measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winde had recently been in close quarters with eNCA
\ncameraman Lungile Tom whose death from COVID-19 was confirmed on 13 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Premier is now cloistered in his home and will remain
\nthere until next week scuttling the planned visit of the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The provincial Head of Health, Dr Keith Cloete had
\npreviously refuted the notorious title of being the epicentre by citing the
\nprovince\u2019s deliberate strategy of identifying \u201chotspots\u201d of local transmissions
\nand then establishing a network of cases through their intensified screening and
\ntesting programme. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
