Health Minister Dr Joe Phaahla says 10 million people have been vaccinated by Sunday. Last night, he announced the premiere date of a new documentary, which takes viewers inside a Covid-19 hospital in Pretoria during the peak of the pandemic. The documentary, Zero to Zero, is set to be broadcast on DStv on the 4th of October at 8.30 pm and it follows the staff of Zuid-Afrikaans Hospital – a non-profit hospital in the capital city – in action as they race against time to save the lives of patients infected with the coronavirus. Phaahla says he hopes the documentary will mobilise citizens to play their part in fighting the pandemic and bringing it to an end.
