An additional 20 deaths announced on Friday brought the provincial total to 257, and the overall fatality rate to 1.99%. Of the 12,519 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the Western Cape, 48% remain active and 50% of patients have recovered.There are signs that some of the hotspots in Cape Town — the location of 85% of the province's cases — are beginning to calm down.
In the western subdistrict, where Dunoon is a hotspot, only 44.7% of cases are still active, and in Tygerberg — which has the highest case total of 1,918 — only 42% of cases remain active. Almost 62% of Covid-19 patients in the southern district, where the hotspots are in the Hout Bay communities of Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg, remain active.
The highest per capita infection rate — confirmed cases per 100,000 people — is in Khayelitsha, where it reached 417 on Friday. More than half the township's 1,673 Covid-19 patients have recovered or died. In terms of active cases, the highest per capita rate is in the Klipfontein subdistrict, where one person in 500 has Covid-19.
The huge disparity of covid-19+ cases btwn cape town and the other metros doesn't make sense to me 🤔
