notes: On 7 May 2020, about 40 nurses from Empilweni TB Hospital, supported by NEHAWU, demonstrated outside the hospital in New Brighton (Nelson Mandela Bay, Eastern Cape) after the decision to turn the hospital into a coronavirus treatment centre. The nurses said that they have not been trained to treat coronavirus patients and the hospital does not have the right equipment to do so. [size=about 40]
