Health officials are seeing shorter hospitalisations during the latest spike in COVID-19 cases.

COVID-19 in SA: 8561 new cases, 28 deaths reported

Koleka Mlisana, co-chairperson of the Ministerial Advisory Committee said: “The majority of the infections are in the younger groups. We are seeing an increase in hospitalisations. We don’t have enough data to analyse how severe these cases are. "The length of the hospitalization is shorter. We’re probably looking at a milder form of cases. We’re watching to see and document. Gauteng province needs to make sure that the resurgence plans that are in place should start kicking in.”
