Nehawu says stopping the sale of alcohol is a welcome move too.
The union says in addition to COVID-19 patients, hospitals have had to treat people after stabbings, shootings, and car accidents.
It says many healthcare institutions are struggling to cope, with workers being in self-isolation and others losing their lives.
