A video of more than a dozen mortuary and funeral parlour vans waiting outside the RK Khan Hospital in Chatsworth on Monday is being shared as a reminder of the seriousness of the pandemic in KwaZulu-Natal.
The person who took the video is heard saying in Zulu there were several vehicles waiting to collect bodies.
On Tuesday, health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize said 14,410 new Covid-19 cases were recorded in the past 24 hours, and KwaZulu-Natal is still the virus epicentre with 71,178 active cases.
Of the 513 new Covid-19 related deaths confirmed on Tuesday night, 92 were in KwaZulu-Natal.
Several users who shared the grim video commented that it was a reminder to people of the reality of the impact of the pandemic in the province, and urged people to “stay at home”.
