SA Rugby could face tough times. Five game parks in Mpumalanga have been prepared for Covid-19 patients. Here is a wrap of some of our domestic news:
As South Africa enters Day 11 of the countrywide lockdown, the latest available numbers show we have 11 deaths with 1 655 confirmed Covid-19 cases.
As a precautionary measure to ensure there will be enough isolation areas to treat patients with Covid-19 in Mpumalanga, five secluded rest camps in provincial game parks have been prepared for a possible bigger onslaught.
South Africa needs to test 12 times more people per day for the new coronavirus than it currently does. Our testing plan can only do this if we use a wider range of tests – including controversial ones.
SA Rugby is reportedly set to lose millions if its players are not back on the training field by June.
