Abstract

CAPE TOWN - A University of the Western Cape (UWC) virologist believes a district-based approach will not contain the spread of the coronavirus in the Western Cape. Last week, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said government had prepared a district-based plan to its COVID-19 response moving away from a one-size-fits-all method .Director of research development at the university Burtram Fielding said people who ignored social distancing rules were largely to blame for the province's high infection load.
