Dr Suhayl Essa, who works in public hospitals in Gauteng, said Covid-19 cases were now climbing.

North West, the Free State and Northern Cape had been a particular concern since Easter with all three provinces reporting very high positivity rates.

“If you use that definition, we're not in a third wave yet but we’re essentially moving in that direction,” he said. SA had a wide range of tools that could be used at different stages to either prevent a resurgence or to control the outbreak. These included the proven non-pharmaceutical interventions as well as increased testing which should be used more proactively to monitor and increase surveillance of outbreaks.

In Tshwane, where active cases reached 1,260 this week, the city had implemented an outreach campaign in response to rising infections in the CBD, Laudium and Centurion.
