Makhura said more waves of infections were expected as the province reached the peak.

As Covid-19 infections continue to surge in Gauteng, Premier David Makhura reiterated funerals and protests remain problematic and a major contributing factor in the spike of cases in the province.

The province’s advisory committee has also been modelling the hotspots in Gauteng, which can be defined as a small pandemic because of the manner in which they behave. Makhura said while there were hotspots that were dying down, they could reappear if infections began to surge in the area again.
