KZN Health continue to lean on Cuban doctors
We've seen the number of new infections decline in recent weeks, but KZN Health says the province will continue to lean on a team of Cuban doctors for support.
MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu says some of these medical experts are specialists that KZN needs and they've been making a difference in hospitals in rural areas.
She says if there's a second wave of infections, the province will be ready.
"We are going to continue to utilise them in our own hospitals.

"Both hospitals that we have converted into isolation centres, including the facilities that we currently have that are temporary or alternative buildings."
