The National Institute for Communicable Diseases said on Sunday evening that 11,125 new cases were recorded in the latest 24-hour reporting cycle. This increase represents a 23.8% positivity rate.
The majority of new cases are from Gauteng , followed by the Western Cape . KwaZulu-Natal accounted for 6% and the North West for 4%. Mpumalanga and Limpopo accounted for 3% each and the Free State and Eastern Cape for 2% each.The Gauteng health department said earlier on Sunday that the total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases to date in the province as at Saturday was 984,479 with 914,752 recoveries and 19,718 deaths.So far, 7.1-million vaccinations have been administered in Gauteng.
“All people 12 years and older are encouraged to visit their nearest vaccination site to receive the jab,” the provincial health department's spokesperson Kwara Kekana said. If 70% or more of the adult population is vaccinated, “we can minimise the impact of the fourth wave,” said Kekana. “This will also help us return to the things we love such as attending sporting, cultural, religious and entertainment events of our choice safely.”
All Gauteng sites, both private and public, accept walk-ins whether people are registered on the electronic vaccination portal or not.
More hysteria when no one knows what this new variant does and how it affects people...fokofANC...and times live, get your house in order before reporting
Wrong appeal. Vaccinate to reduce hospitalisation. That is their only angle
Who ever still believes that “only 90 000 have died of C19 in SA” are stupid. Its closer to 300 000.
It would be nice if you could do a tribute to South Africa’s first brave Nurse to get vaccinated. You remember her.. you splashed her image all over your publications.
The jab will not prevent you catching or spreading it but get jabbed anyway otherwise you'll be ostracized and fired from your job.
This variant is mild, and yet the scare tactics continue... The vaccine risk is so much higher than the risk this variant poses. So stop with the scare tactics...
Is it affecting only the unvaccinated?
Didn't the so-called experts say that the current so-called vaccines are not effective against this supposed variant? 😄😄😄🚮
Absolutely nothing at all...
What next after Omicron?
We want jobs not jabs
How many Aids deaths so far? How many road accident deaths, murders, rapes, drug addicts, hijackings compared to covid deaths for the same period.
The jab does not prevent infection. Come up with another excuse
How do I spread something I don't have ?🤷
As far as I understand you can still spread covid even after getting the jab. The government should stop their nonsense! We are not fools!
