News24 reports that according to Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, SA would in coming days see a rise in Covid-19 infections, more people would be hospitalised, and many would lose their lives.
During a briefing on Tuesday, he and Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu launched a new multi-sectoral ministerial advisory committee (MAC) on social behavioural change, in an effort to expand the response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The committee will be chaired by Malusi Mpumlwana of the SA Council of Churches. The MAC team comes from diversity of various stakeholders representing various civil society organisations, including non-governmental organisation, youth organisations, church leaders and traditional leaders amongst others. Mkhize said that, while the work of MAC would be to facilitate diverse stakeholder cooperation in the country’s Covid-19 response, it would also facilitate action for fair access to quality health care. "Behavioural change needs constant reinforcement and affirmation. It needs the entire buy-in of individuals, communities, societies, cultures and various social groupings," Mkhize pointed out.
