Abstract
Evidence suggests that COVID-19 patients with diabetes and hypertension are more likely to face poorer outcomes. Both of these health conditions are widespread in South Africa and often untreated. Expanding health care and creating healthier environments will be critical to South Africas resilience against COVID-19 and future epidemics.-
