(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Many South African politicians infected with New Coronary Pneumonia Health Minister said the storm is coming

　　China News Agency, Johannesburg, July 9 (Reporter Wang Xi) As of July 9, confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Africa have exceeded the 500,000 mark, reaching 508,500. As the country with the most severe epidemic in the region, 224,665 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa and 3,600 deaths.

　　What is worrying is that many South African politicians, including the Governor of the Western Cape Province, the Governor of the Northwest Province, and the Chief Financial Officer of the ANC have recently been exposed to new coronary pneumonia, which has caused widespread public concern.

　　"The storm is coming." South Africa's health minister Mukez admitted that although the growth rate cannot be ignored, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa is actually much lower than expected compared with the estimate in June. However, Mukez pointed out that the current confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia are still much higher than the number of beds in South African hospitals, and this problem is common in nine South African provinces, of which Gauteng and Eastern Cape are the most serious. Fortunately, the previous estimates were basically accurate, which means that South Africa is about to usher in the peak period of new coronary pneumonia from August to September. At that time, South African medical institutions will face huge challenges.

　　Mukez said that the Ministry of Health has formulated and is implementing a "surging strategy" to deal with the pressure of medical treatment at the peak of the outbreak, so as to ensure the capacity of hospital beds throughout South Africa, while also ensuring that health institutions continue to provide other medical services to the public .

　　Mukez called on all the people of South Africa to unite to fight the new coronary pneumonia and reduce their differences. "We can't fight the enemy of new pneumonia alone, we need everyone to join it." He said. (Finish)
