Practical tips to manage mild COVID-19 cases in the home

The City of Cape Town would like to advise residents on how to manage COVID-19 cases in the home

<p>The City of Cape Town would like to advise residents on how to manage COVID-19 cases in the home following on from the Western Cape Health Department’s announcement that testing for COVID-19 will be limited to the following high risk individuals going forward:</p><ul><li><div style="text-align:left;">You are already in hospital and have coronavirus symptoms</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">You are a health care worker with coronavirus symptoms</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">You are over 55, have other illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension etc. and have coronavirus symptoms</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">You are under 55, with underlying conditions and have coronavirus symptoms</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">You live in a care facility or old age home and have coronavirus symptoms</div></li></ul><p>While much remains unknown about the virus, experience has shown that most people can recover at home, as at least 80% of an infected population will present with mild to moderate symptoms.</p><p>The new risk-stratified testing approach in the Western Cape is built on this experience, with persons who do not fall within the high risk categories advised to forego testing if they suspect they have COVID-19, and to recover at home.</p><p><strong>Home care for patients with COVID-19 presenting with mild symptoms:</strong></p><p>Individuals who have a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 diagnosis with mild symptoms, a person waiting for test results or a person who has been identified as a close contact with someone with COVID-19 are required to remain isolated from the rest of their household for at least 14 days (from symptom onset if unwell). While at home, we advise that they monitor their symptoms and temperature twice daily.</p><p>‘This is extremely important, because while home recovery is advised, patients should be mindful of any worsening of their symptoms in the event that it might require more advanced care – particularly if they develop problems breathing, experience persistent pain or pressure in the chest area and struggle to wake up. They are also advised to call their healthcare provider or the provincial COVID-19 health line if their symptoms persist beyond seven days. Patients are generally considered free of the virus after 14 days if their symptoms resolve, but if in doubt, check in with your healthcare provider or local clinic just to be sure,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.</p><p>It is important to note that homecare is dependent on the ability to isolate from other household members and a healthy person being able to take care of you, as well as having easy access to your healthcare provider, if need be. Some practical tips include:</p><ul><li><div style="text-align:left;">If possible, place the patient in a well-ventilated single room (i.e. with open windows and an open door) and household members should stay in a different room or, if that is not possible, maintain a distance of at least one metre from the ill person (e.g. sleep in a separate bed).</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Limit the movement of the patient in the house and minimise shared space. </div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Limit the number of caregivers. Ideally, assign one person who is in good health and has no underlying chronic or immune-compromising conditions. </div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Visitors should not be allowed until the patient has completely recovered and has no signs or symptoms of COVID-19. Perform hand hygiene after any type of contact with patients or their immediate environment.</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">When washing hands with soap and water, it is preferable to use disposable paper towels to dry hands. If these are not available, use clean cloth towels and replace them frequently.</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Use dedicated linen and eating utensils for the patient; these items should be cleaned with soap and water after use and may be re-used instead of being discarded.</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Daily clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched in the room where the patient is being cared for, such as bedside tables, bedframes, and other bedroom furniture. Regular household soap or detergent should be used for cleaning. </div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Clean and disinfect bathroom and toilet surfaces at least once daily or after use if a shared bathroom. </div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Clean the patient’s clothes, bed linen, and bath and hand towels using regular laundry soap and water or machine wash at 60–90 °C (if possible) with common household detergent, and dry thoroughly. Place contaminated linen into a laundry bag. Do not shake soiled laundry and avoid contaminated materials coming into contact with skin and clothes.</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">‘Double bag’ waste such as tissues or disposable masks used by the sick person and store for five days before putting out for collection </div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Avoid other types of exposure to contaminated items from the patient’s immediate environment (e.g. do not share toothbrushes, cigarettes, eating utensils, dishes, drinks, towels, washcloths, or bed linen).</div></li></ul><p><strong>What to do if you cannot self-isolate in your home:</strong></p><p>Persons who are unable to self-isolate at home can liaise with their nearest health facility or call the provincial hotline (021 928 4102) to secure access to one of the Quarantine and Isolation facilities that have been set up around the metropole, in conjunction with the Western Cape Government.</p><p><strong>Look after yourself to look after others</strong>:</p><p>It is also important for the rest of the household/caregivers to play their part in ensuring that they do not become infected, by following the guidelines below:</p><ul><li><div style="text-align:left;">Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Wear a cloth mask at all times when in public (do not touch your face)</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Practise responsible respiratory hygiene (cover your coughs and sneezes)</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Wipe down all surfaces that you may come into contact with</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Social distancing is everyone’s responsibility – implement it strictly</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">If you feel ill – stay at home!</div></li></ul><p>‘The guidelines for home care can appear overwhelming, as there is a lot to do and to take into consideration. However, we appeal to residents to please follow the guidelines to the letter to ensure the best outcome for the patient, as well as the rest of the household. We are reminded constantly that the worst of the pandemic is yet to come, so now more than ever we need to remain vigilant and adhere to the health and hygiene protocols put forward to help mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus,’ said Councillor Badroodien.</p><p><br><strong>End</strong><br></p>

City’s SMME COVID-19 Toolkit receives global recognition for supporting business

The COVID-19 pandemic has made its presence felt on the economy and local businesses

<span><p>I am delighted that the City of Cape Town Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMME) COVID-19 Toolkit will feature at the ‘Cities Against COVID-19 Online Global Summit’ hosted in Seoul, Korea, from 1 June to 5 June, as a best practice model for workplace readiness.</p><p><br>The COVID-19 pandemic has made its presence felt on the economy and local businesses. To respond to this, the City’s Enterprise and Investment Department created a limited edition SMME COVID-19 Toolkit, filled with the essentials to help get businesses back to work after the lockdown period. This is to assist businesses in combating the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring the health and safety of employees and customers. It fills me with joy that this initiative received global recognition and will be used as an example of best practice for cities around the world.</p><p>We received over 3 000 applications from all over the city and have started the distribution process. The toolkit distribution points are chosen according to the proximity of the applicants’ business addresses provided. This week I assisted the officials with the distribution of toolkits in various locations across the city including Gugulethu, Milnerton, Kuilsriver and Bellville. Next week we will be assisting in Khayelitsha, Plumstead and Mitchells Plain.<br> </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/Toolkit%203.jpg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>I also visited several factories including the ZipGrip factory situated in the Airport Industria to deliver toolkits. ZipGrip is a polly bag manufacturing company and supplies products to the medical and agri-business sectors. Their clients include some of the biggest retailers in South Africa.</p><p>The uptake of the toolkit applications and ensuing gratitude received from the business fraternity on various social media platforms and emails in Cape Town has been phenomenal. These toolkits are only available to businesses who applied during the application period via the <a href="http://www.investcapetown.com/" target="_blank">www.investcapetown.com</a> portal. Those businesses who did not receive a toolkit, will still have the opportunity to receive support services from The Business Hub. Please contact The Business Hub via email <a href="mailto:business.support@capetown.gov.za" target="_blank">business.support@capetown.gov.za</a> for more information or advice on our SMME support services.</p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/toolkits1.jpg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>As we enter the next phase of our fight against the coronavirus, the actions of businesses to reduce the risks to their employees and customers will be key to determining the fate of our city and our country. Unfortunately, we have seen some businesses within our city becoming infection hotspots, which is something we need to avoid at all costs. Therefore, all businesses have a part to play in adhering to the rules to ensure that we keep the economy open. I therefore call on businesses to implement the necessary health and safety measures as instructed by national government to avoid further negative impacts on their respective sectors. Visit <a href="http://www.supportbusiness.co.za/" target="_blank">www.supportbusiness.co.za</a> for more information or to download the available resources.</p><p>I fully understand that all these measures impose a huge burden on businesses, but there is simply no other option if we are going to slow the spread of this virus and keep our economy as open as possible. As a caring City, our top priority remains to help businesses get back to work safely. </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/toolkits2.jpg" alt="" style="width:946px;" /> </figure></span><p><strong>Learn more about the SMME COVID-19 toolkit here: </strong><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WYgOrkSA0P8GTu-f5-HBligfi57jgrq_/view" target="_blank"><strong>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WYgOrkSA0P8GTu-f5-HBligfi57jgrq_/view</strong></a></p><p><br><strong>End</strong></p><span></span><span></span><span></span>

Malibongwe Drive works back on track

The construction commenced in May 2019 and has been making steady progress.

<span>The construction commenced in May 2019 and has been making steady progress.<br><p>However, as with other construction projects across the country, work had to stop due to the national lockdown which came into effect on 27 March 2020. </p><p>When the lockdown was eased to Level 4, allowing for construction work, the project resumed on the Loop Ramp onto the N7 southbound as part of the Malibongwe Drive/Sandown Road. </p><p>This section is funded and managed by the developer, The Milnerton Estates Project.</p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/monwabisi1.jpg" alt="" style="width:1066px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>Work along this section currently involves the construction of the stormwater culvert structures, and the piling on the Malibongwe Bridge.</p><p>The Loop Ramp will provide a direct link from Malibongwe Drive onto the N7 off the Potsdam interchange.</p><p>Once the Loop Ramp is completed, it will improve the traffic flow onto the N7 as the existing conflict point on the bridge will be eliminated and traffic will have a free flow from Parklands, Sunningdale and Rivergate onto the N7 heading in a southerly direction.<br><br><strong>Some of the work to date includes:</strong></p><ul><li><div style="text-align:left;">Dualling of Sandown Road from Gie Road to Malibongwe Drive (M12).</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Construction of a bridge over the railway line.</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Dualling of Malibongwe Drive (M12) from Sandown Road to the Potsdam Interchange (N7/M12)</div></li><li><div style="text-align:left;">Relocation of a sewer pipeline and water main with the exception of the Wood Drive sewer crossing has been completed</div></li></ul> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/monwabisi2.jpg" alt="" style="width:949px;" /> </figure></span><span><p><br>‘Our commitment to improve the lives of our residents is the driving force behind this project – it is aimed at alleviating traffic congestion. We are set on implementing projects that will save motorists time on the roads. </p><p>‘As a result of this project, traffic flow along the dualled section of Malibongwe Drive and Sandown Road between Potsdam Road and Gie Road has seen a significant improvement,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Alderman Felicity Purchase.</p><p>‘Roadworks always come with a level of inconvenience and this one is no different. Residents can expect delays around the construction areas especially along the section of Sandown Road between Gie Road and Sunningdale Drive. The intersection of Wood Drive onto Sandown Road will be closed from 1 June 2020. <br></p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Centre/monwabisi3.jpg" alt="" style="width:949px;" /> </figure></span><p><br>‘Alternate routes will be available to facilitate traffic flow. Also, the lane closures on Malibongwe Drive bridge will negatively impact the traffic flow. We request the public be patient while the work is ongoing. Where possible, please try to avoid this area,’ said Alderman Purchase.</p><p>Given the delays emanating from the national lockdown, the completion is now envisaged towards the beginning of December 2020.</p><p><br><strong>End</strong><br></p><span></span><span></span><span></span>
