Climate Variability & Disaster Preparedness in Southern Africa

Talking to someone close to me about the work that he does as a Porter, he expressed his worry about his exposure to the virus. He works at a certain hospital as a porter in Soweto and he is equally exposed to the virus just like nurses and doctors. He is worried by the fact that many people forget that people who work as porters are also in the frontline and are exposed to the virus for they are the ones receiving patients regardless of the nature of their sickness. The work environment has also changed tremendously due to COVID- 19 because previously they would receive patients without fear of contracting any disease. Although they are given Protective gear, wheelchairs and stretchers are not disinfected increasing their vulnerability to the deadly virus.
