A detailed outbreak response is being mounted,” Mkhzie tweeted yesterday. “Any increase is a worry for us, and it has our government on full alert and responding.

Mkhize concerned by 42% spike in Covid-19 cases in CapeSouth Africa faces a high risk of resurging coronavirus infections that may lead to a review by the council deciding on lockdowns, after new cases rose by 42% in Western Cape province in the last two weeks, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said. How many patients died in the last 24 - 48 hours? The answer is 0. They are just itching to lock us down again for nothing. This man's is meant to be isolation yet his chopping to the media. Tats you are causing problems for us. Its literally already on its way down again he's lying/manipulating the data. That was because of an outbreak and a increase in testing that is directly proportional to the rise in cases. Average deaths in WC are now 4. eNCA SABCNews News24 stop reporting propaganda

Mkhize sounds alarm over resurgence in Covid-19 cases | CitypressSouth Africa is recording a worrying increase in Covid-19 infections, especially in the Western Cape, according to Health Minister Zweli Mkhize. Isn't that so-called minister self quarantined I never believe any MYANC minister. We in Cape Town have a highly honourable man as Premier, so we ignore the rest with the contempt they deserve. So what? Where are the numbers that matter? Deaths? ICU admissions? Infections without bad outcome is a good thing.
