"We therefore plead for the understanding of all South Africans who may unfortunately not have access to the flu vaccine this year," he said. So far only one person is believed to have died from the coronavirus in SA. Gauteng remains the epicentre of SA’s outbreak, with 533 cases. Western Cape has 271, and KwaZulu-Natal 156. Free State has 68 cases, Limpopo has 11, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape each have 10, while the North West has 6 and Northern Cape has 5. However, 117 cases are unallocated to provinces, because the paperwork for these patients was incomplete.

The Solidarity trial will investigate remdesivir, which was previously used in an Ebola trial, the HIV/AIDS medicine lopinavir/ritonavir; a combination of lopinavir/ritonafir and interferon beta-1a used for multiple sclerosis; and the malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine.

I think we have reached the limits of our testing capability. When it reaches the informal settlements we will only be able to guess.

It's so sad, n we have brothers & sister wu work day & night to keep SA safe... we can just play our part by obeying or President & stay home... EssentialWorker

Thanks minister useless
