According to the eThekwini Municipality’s spokesperson, Msawakhe Mayisela, the closure is due to the low numbers of people getting vaccinated and the increase rate of infection among health care workers due to the current fourth wave.
“However, the public is encouraged to register to receive the Covid-19 vaccination. Evidence shows that vaccinations remain the most effective defence in reducing severe illness and death,” he urged.
