Number of Gauteng Public Servants tested positive• Out of 172 113 public servants in Gauteng, 5 242 have tested positive since

March. This includes public Health workers and Educators. • We have lost 2 Doctors from Dr George Mukhari Academic Hospital and Jubilee

Hospital. We send our condolences to family, friends and colleagues of the two Doctors.

• Like all other patients, affected staff and their family members are receiving care and treatment in line with the World Health Organisation protocols.

• All other staff members who were in contact with those that tested positive have been tested and will continue to follow all protocols to prevent the spread of the virus.

• There is ongoing decontamination of all public buildings regularly as part of the measures to combat the spread of COVID-19.

• As part of continuous medical surveillance protocol, public servants undergo daily screening and some are referred for testing.

• Based on the current patient load we have adequate PPE in stock. However we continue to order more stock for the next phases of the pandemic.

• We still want to emphasise that surgical and N95 masks must be reserved for use only by frontline healthcare workers.

• Priority is on the empowerment of local manufacturing companies, SMMEs and Township businesses.• The Department is sourcing from various service providers who are registered on the COVID-19

Food Security, Social Relief, Water, sanitation and resettlement

Food Security and Social Relief – 2 Million Milestone• Since the lockdown, 457 614 households have

been provided with food relief, supporting a total of2 288 070 people (at least 5 people perhousehold).

• 368 175 calls received with an overall responserate of 111.4%. However, the municipalities do notsource referrals via the hotline

• However, the demand for food far outstrips ourcapacity to meet the need.

• We continue to call for more support frombusiness, foundations and civil society initiativeson food relief. However, such initiatives must becoordinated with government and the distributionshould avoid breaching social distancingregulations.

• Food Distribution (National Picture): GPGaccounts for 42.6% of the total SocialDevelopment Food Relief distribution across thecountry, followed by LP at 12.9%, MP and WC at9.8% each.

Update on PPE investigation

Update on investigation into PPE procurement• The damning allegations of corruption regarding the procurement of

Personal Protective Equipment have profoundly eroded public confidence in the collective work of the province in the fight against COVID-19.

• Last week, I made a commitment that we would give regular updates on the investigations based on the reports we received from the SIU.

• As you are aware, if in the course of investigations, evidence of wrong-doing is found, the SIU may refer such evidence to relevant authorities including the SAPS, NPA and SARS.

• The SIU may also recommend immediate action to be taken against any implicated officials.

• The SIU is empowered to take immediate steps to safe-guard assets which may include cancellation of contracts.

Update on investigation into PPE procurement• Yesterday, we received an update from the SIU on their work regarding

investigations into the COVID-19 procurement.• The SIU is making headway in the ongoing investigations concerning

COVID-19 procurement. • Based on the evidence so far the SIU will be making referrals to other

State institutions for action. A criminal case has been opened. • The SIU has also identified two Gauteng Department of Health

officials who have allegedly enabled and facilitated this procurement corruption. One of these officials will be served with suspension this morning while the one who has resigned will be pursued legally.

• With regards to other investigation already finalised by the SIU concerning irregular procurement at the Department of e-Government, we have already cancelled the contract and initiated disciplinary action against implicated officials.

Concluding remarks

51

Containing the spread! Saving lives!• We continue to implement the ward-based strategy as an intervention to contain the

spread of the virus in line with of our comprehensive health response.• Over the past two weeks, we have upscaled our ward-based strategy concentrating on

areas with large number of active cases. This week we were in:• Johannesburg District Hotspots - Protea Glen, Dobsonville, Jabulani, Doornkop• Ekurhuleni District Hotspots - Primrose, Brackenhurst, Eden Park, Alberton

• All social partners are working together as part of the ward-based strategy to minimisecommunity transmission through:• Identification of positive cases and expeditiously tracking and tracing contacts• Administering medical management to those who need it• Decongesting clinics• Referring people to quarantine and isolation sites based on assessment• Heightening awareness and education

Concluding remarks • We are encouraged by the decrease in the number of new positive cases per week and a

large increase in recoveries.• The number of patients admitted is decreasing and is reducing pressure on the health system.

We expected that in July and August were going to be the hardest months where the healthsystem was going to be tested.

• We continue to increase our health capacity with our infrastructure programme and personnelcapacity. The improvement in the infrastructure is a long-term investment in our healthsystem.

• On Sunday, we will commemorate the heroic actions of the women of South Africa whoconfronted the brutality of the apartheid system. Basadi ba go swara thipa ka bogaleng.

• As we continue with the battle against this pandemic, we need to draw courage and resiliencefrom the generation of women who marched against the injustice of the apartheid regime in1956.

• As the provincial government we remain committed towards promotion of gender equality andwomen empowerment. It is central to our efforts of fighting poverty and stimulating sustainabledevelopment.

Concluding remarks • Gauteng will be the home to all Premier Soccer League and National first division teams

who will be completing the remainder of the 2019/20 season.• Gauteng has state of the art infrastructure and sporting facilities which made the province

the preferred choice for resumption of professional football under strict COVID-19conditions.

• As we enjoy football, we must all continue to Play our Part in stopping the spread ofCOVID-19.

• Wearing masks, practicing physical distancing and observing the hygiene golden rules ofwashing hands or using sanitisers remain a powerful weapon in our hands to protectourselves and those around us.

• Play your part. Stop the Spread!
