Netcare Group CEO Dr Richard Friedland previously said visiting times were being restricted at its hospitals, as well as tightened controls on the number of visitors allowed to visit a patient at a time.

Other precautions included ensuring that every person entering its facilities cleans their hands and verbal screenings for Covid-19 risk at the main points of entry as a first line of defence, with further screenings where indicated.

Gazebos or tents are being erected at entrances to emergency departments and main hospital entrances, where our staff members will conduct the screening.

Ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection robots are being deployed to those hospitals that do not as yet have their own, as soon as possible. Netcare said: These mobile robots have been proven to be extremely effective in identifying and destroying viruses, bacteria and fungal spores.

Daily screening of all of staff, including personnel of external service providers in all areas of the business, is also in effect.
