Close to 2,000 new Covid-19 cases recorded in Gauteng in 24 hours

The NICD said a total of 2,465 new Covid-19 were recorded in SA, with the majority emanating from Gauteng. This increase represented a 6.5% positivity rate.According to the statistics, 1,950 cases were recorded in Gauteng in the past 24 hours. On Wednesday, there were 1,018.

Gauteng has consistently been the worst-hit province for new infections over the past two weeks. This as the NICD confirmed on Thursday that a new Covid-19 variant known as B.1.1.529 had been detected in SA. More than 100 positive cases of the variant have been recorded in the country - and hundreds more are being analysed - after genomic sequencing collaborations between the NICD and private laboratories. Other laboratories are confirming more cases as sequencing results come out.

“It is not surprising that a new variant has been detected in SA,” said NICD acting executive director Prof Adrian Puren. “Though the data is limited, our experts are working overtime with all the established surveillance systems to understand the new variant and what the potential implications could be. Developments are occurring at a rapid pace and the public has our assurance that we will keep them up to date.

“Detected cases and percentages of those testing positive are both increasing quickly, particularly in Gauteng, North West and Limpopo,” the NICD said in a statement.

These cases must come with names now, I don’t trust these numbers.

They must stop reporting and act as it's pleases them. We are tired of all this nonsense... What Wil happens to vaccinated Ppl? How will u encourage unvaccinated ppl? If all this media are all about covid LockDown etc..
