“The COVID-19 Response Unit Staff Sergeant Gerald Els (SA Military Health Service), petty officers Tshilidzi Nyathela and Rofhiwa Lavhengwa (SA Navy) sanitised work surface areas wearing high level personal protective equipment and ensuring individual decontamination. The team responds to suspected COVID-19 cases and will sanitise large surface areas. They are trained how to properly wear protective gear, go into a room, clean it and remove the gear. Teams work from top to bottom spraying a recommended bleach-to-water ratio,” the social media post said.
