President Cyril Ramaphosa has paid tribute to South African nurses for their services in the fight against the novel coronavirus disease in a message marking International Nurses Day.
A total of 511 health workers have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in South Africa while 26 doctors have been hospitalized and two health workers, a doctor and a nurse, have died.
“Currently, nurses are
placing themselves between our communities and the unseen enemy we face in
COVID-19. We are humbled by their bravery, their hard work and their commitment
to putting the interests of all South Africans before their own and those of
their own families,” said Ramaphosa.
“Let us pause today to celebrate this invaluable and
treasured cadre of our society and let us give them our full support and
gratitude into the future.”
Other politicians paying tribute on International Nurses Day included the Deputy President David Mabuza.
