Duikmasker in hospitaal aangewend

Mediese werkers by die Tygerberg-hospitaal het met ’n innoverende idee vorendag gekom om hulself teen Covid-19infeksie te beskerm. Die dokters dra deesdae duikmaskers wat glo beter beskerming bied, sê Laticia Pienaar, hospitaal-woordvoerder. Volgens Pienaar is die maskers aangepas om te verhoed dat hulle Covid-19 by siek pasiënte aansteek. “Gewoonlik word dié soort maskers in tropiese waters vir duik-ekspedisies gebruik. Dit bedek die hele gesig en seël dig om te verhoed dat water deurdring. Met die byvoeging van ’n asemhalingsfilter, waar die snorkel eintlik sou wees, word die dokters by die hospitaal volledig beskerm teen die inaseming van die virus terwyl hulle in hoogs aansteeklike omstandighede werk,” sê Pienaar. Dr. Lizelle van Wyk, ’n neonatoloog en pediater, duik gereeld en het die masker by ’n duik-kollege teëgekom. Die gemodifiseerde masker word nou tydens die behandeling van kinders wat moontlik Covid-19 het deur die pediaters gebruik. Op die foto dra dr. Lizelle van Wyk en prof. Pierre Goussard die nuwe maskers.
NOISE, PROSTITUTES: RESIDENTS FED UP
G’wood lodge a bother TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
A
local lodge in Rhodes Street has become a headache for residents. There have been numerous noise complaints from elderly residents in the street. Goodwood Ratepayers’ Association chair, Faizel Petersen, says the property has been an ongoing problem for the past two years and has been reported to the relevant officials such as law enforcement and the local councillor on several occasions. A resident, who requested anonymity,
said the activity at the premises is concerning. “We had a big issue in the early hours of this morning until 07:00 – very disturbing as we are elderly people that need our sleep. There was banging of gates and people screaming and shouting. All these prostitutes that hang out on the corner of Voortrekker and Rhodes Street hang out there. “During the day there are random cars parking in front of your door. Old men go into the lodge and spend about two hours inside. I’m thinking this lodge is a brothel because men go in there with prostitutes whose faces I’ve become familiar with.
There are children in our street who witness these activities and it’s concerning. This has been going on for about four years. I’m unable to give a number of people that go in and out daily.” Residing in the street for more than 20 years, the resident said the lodge will have an effect on the value of surrounding properties. “In terms of safety, the residents in the street have had to upgrade their security. I was on the verge of selling my property because one cannot live like this. Our councillor, Cecile Janse van Rensberg, is turning a blind eye on the situation. We’ve contacted her, but nothing is being done from her end”.
Goodwood police spokesperson Capt Waynne Theunis confirmed that they have received complaints. “This office recently received complaints of disturbance of the peace and that the premises is operating as a bed and breakfast. On our latest visit it was found to be operating as a lodge. The owner was warned to abide by the Disaster Management Act regulations and that any contraventions thereof could result in prosecution”. TygerBurger contacted the lodge and Janse van Rensberg for comment, but had not received a response by the time of goint to print.
