“We believe that many areas across the province are at different stages in their infection curve, and the Garden Route may not yet have reached its peak. It’s therefore important that we all continue to work hard to ensure that we can slow the spread across the entire province.” “High-flow nasal oxygen has helped to relieve the pressure on ICU and high care facilities in the metro region as it can be administered in an acute setting, under the correct supervision.”The province reported 10221 active cases of Covid-19, 95904 confirmed cases and 82447 recoveries made as of 1pm on Tuesday. The number of people who have succumbed to the virus has reached 3 236.There remain 6 028 cases of the virus unallocated, with 5123 recoveries made.

Cape Winelands District mayor, Dr Helena von Schlicht, and officials from the departments of Agriculture and Health provided an update on Covid-19 in the two municipalities.
