Statement by Premier Alan Winde: Western Cape Government to turn CTICC into 800 bed COVID-19 hospital

Today, the Western Cape Cabinet agreed to use the CTICC as a temporary COVID-19 hospital, creating the capacity for us to care for an additional 800 people at the peak of the pandemic.

Globally, we have seen healthcare resources being placed under severe pressure as a result of COVID-19.

The Western Cape’s scenario planning has predicted a shortfall of 1000 acute beds in the province at the peak of the pandemic. The use of the CTICC will allow us to make up the majority of this shortfall- and allow us to render care to those who need it.

We intend to make up the remainder of the shortfall with temporary beds in other facilities, in appropriate geographic locations.

Since it opened its doors, the CTICC has been an important part of the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape- contributing to the travel and events economy and creating thousands of jobs. It has hosted world leaders and celebrations. Its use as a hospital to care for hundreds of ill people during this global pandemic is its most significant contribution to our region yet.

The agreement allows the Western Cape Government to make use of the CTICC 1 building immediately up until 7 September, with an option to extend this on a month-to-month basis until the end of the year.

The CTICC has agreed to waive the hire cost of the venue, as part of its contribution to the fight against coronavirus. The temporary infrastructure build, operating and catering costs for the initial hire period will total approximately R47 million.

This amount excludes the costs that the Department of Health will incur in providing clinical equipment, oxygen, medication and temporary staff for the temporary hospital.

The inter-mediate care beds will cater for patients, presenting with milder clinical signs who need hospitalisation and treatment including administration of oxygen. The CTICC will not provide for care for patients with more severe clinical signs, which will require intensive care treatment.

Security at the site will be provided by the CTICC and augmented by the City of Cape Town.

The site will be fitted out to be ready by the first week of June, well before the expected peak when these beds will be required.

The comprehensive layout of all the services which will be made available on site – including the beds, showers, nursing stations, support stations, physio stations, and bulk oxygen storage tank spaces, amongst others, – has already been prepared and as of today, is signed off for execution.

Cape Town Mayor, Dan Plato said: “The City of Cape Town and Western Cape Government are working together to ensure a proactive and effective response to the pandemic. Due to the identified shortfall of hospital beds, we need to make use of the available resources at our disposal to adequately address the outbreak and to treat patients on a large-scale. This facility is well-placed with the necessary infrastructure to easily allow the site to be used as a temporary hospital.”

Western Cape Minister of Health, Nomafrench Mbombo said “Today’s announcement comes in the wake of us tabling our scenario planning strategy where we announced the anticipated bed shortfall in the province. The CTICC will function as an intermediate care facility, providing about 800 beds, showing that the province is working hard to effectively deal with this pandemic.”

Taubie Motlhabane, CEO of the CTICC said: “During these extraordinary times, we welcome the opportunity for the CTICC to be part of the solution. The conversion of CTICC 1 into a temporary COVID-19 hospital facility will add to the resources needed in our healthcare system to fight this pandemic. We are proud to be part of the team.”

The Western Cape Government has been working around the clock to prepare for the peak of the virus in the province. This hospital, together with 18 temporary testing and triage sites across the province, and a number of already operational quarantine and isolation sites, are all part of a focused response to ensure that we are able to provide care at a time when it is most needed.

I would like to thank the CTICC and the City of Cape Town, who is a joint shareholder in the CTICC with the Western Cape Government, for coming on board and responding to this urgent need. The Department of Transport and Public Works, under Minister Bonginkosi Madikizela has been working tirelessly since March to ensure that this hospital will be realised in time.

The fitting out of the site will begin immediately and we intend to open the hospital by June. We will continue to update the public on this initiative.

Covid-19 Update

In further efforts to combat the escalating spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa, on 23 March 2020, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a 21-day national lockdown from midnight, 26 March until midnight, 16 April 2020.

In compliance to this new directive, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) has suspended all premises-based operations until midnight on Thursday, 16 April 2020.

“At this time, we stand together with the rest of South Africa, our continent and the world in doing everything we can to slow the spread of Coronavirus, and to ensure that our healthcare systems are not overburdened. We applaud President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decisive measures, which are meant to protect the lives of the people of South Africa,” says Taubie Motlhabane, CEO of the CTICC.”

While we will physically not be in our offices during this period, we are continuing to work remotely and remain available to our clients via various digital methods of communication.

“We look forward to helping with long-range planning as well as preparation for events that will be held as soon as restrictions are lifted,” says Motlhabane.

“For now, keep well, stay safe and stay home,” she concluded.

Covid-19 Update

Following the National Disaster declaration around COVID-19 by the President on Sunday, 15^th March 2020, the Department of Health has advised of certain protocols to be followed to minimise the spread of the Coronavirus.

The CTICC has been informed through a tracing process that certain staff members have been exposed to individuals who have had close contact with patients that have tested positive for the Coronavirus. The individuals that the staff members have been in contact with have gone into self-isolation and are following the advice of health authorities.

In an effort to flatten the curve and slow the spread of the virus, we have made the decision to take precautionary measures by temporarily closing the CTICC for a minimum period of 14 days. This will allow our entire team to self-isolate while continuing to work from home. This is a measure to protect and preserve our most valuable asset, our staff.

During this self-isolation period, staff will monitor themselves for any symptoms and report such to medical practitioners. We have equipped our staff with the relevant resources and information around how to self-isolate, which symptoms to look for and most importantly, all preventative measures that they should put in place.

The CTICC believes this measure is the responsible thing to do. “Our priority will always be the safety of our staff, clients and partners,” said Taubie Motlhabane, CEO of the CTICC.

Due to the restriction of hosting events of more than 100 attendees, the CTICC does not have any scheduled events in the next 14 days; therefore, this precautionary closure does not affect any clients at the moment. We will continue to reassess the situation and adjust as operationally necessary.

“Of course, we regret the impact that the temporary closure of the CTICC will have on our suppliers, but we believe it is prudent to be cautious under the current world-reality,” Motlhabane said.

The CTICC is committed to using this time to investigate new ways of doing business by engaging and working with our clients and colleagues. We believe it is important to develop long term resilience strategies so that we are ready to open our doors to the world again and play our part in growing the economy as soon as possible.

Covid-19 Update

The CTICC has noted the announcement made by South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa on measures to help mitigate the impact and spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). A concise disaster management plan is being set out by the national government, with various mechanisms implemented as a result. The two which directly impact the centre’s business include the prohibition of all gatherings over 100 people and restrictions on international and national travel.

Taubie Motlhabane, CEO of the Cape Town International Convention Centre, confirmed the CTICC’s commitment to aligning with the evolving global, national and local protocols established to help prevent and minimise the impact of the virus.

“As the potential impact on the spread of COVID-19 continues to unfold, it is incumbent upon all of us to play our part in containing the spread of the virus.  The health and safety of our employees, clients and partners remains our number one priority. The CTICC will continue to implement all recommendations outlined by the emergency and rapid response systems set up by the national government as the situation evolves.”

“Our business’s core focus is the hosting of large gatherings. We, therefore, share in the challenges that event-size and travel restrictions have on the meeting industry around the world. We also appreciate the severe economic impact that cancelling or postponing an event has on event organisers, suppliers, and delegates. As we all adapt to this new world reality, we need to take this opportunity to investigate how we can all diversify our businesses, and work with our clients and colleagues in developing strategies for the long term resilience of the meeting industry.”
