I have had many people commenting regarding our booze ban. When South Africa went into hard lockdown 11 months ago, there were a few priorities. We all had to stay home and only go out for essentials. These did not include alcohol and cigarettes, as well as many other items. In this time, our hospitals aimed to gear up for the expected Covid-19 patients. Alcohol related trauma cases apply a great deal of stress on our hospitals. And the reasoning behind banning the sale of alcohol was to ensure the trauma wards had space for the wave of people expected to succumb to the virus. There was also a curfew in place to ensure the roads were empty at night. As another leading cause of hospital admissions is car accidents, this too made sense. Eventually our booze ban was lifted and curfew relaxed. But in December that all changed.

The second wave hit us, and hit us badly. Our recovery rate which had been over 90% dropped to under 80%. Hospital admissions crept up slowly but surely. And more and more people were becoming infected. At the end of the month our President announced a ban on the sale and on-site consumption of alcohol. And curfew was earlier in the evening. Whereas many people bemoaned the fact, I am sure the Doctors and Nurses did not. For the first time ever Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, which is the third largest in the country, had not one alcohol related trauma on New Years’ Eve. Part of the mission had been accomplished. As soon as our hospital cases came down and our recovery rate went up, we could go out and buy alcohol again. The timing was perfect as we were down to our last bottle of whisky.
