Health Department statistics indicated that the age group between 10 and 19 accounts for 1 147 (4.2%) of the overall number of Covid-19 cases in the country.

Cape Town – Health Department statistics yesterday indicated that the age group between 10 and 19 accounts for 1 147 of the overall number of Covid-19 cases in the country.

In South Africa, according to the latest Health Department figures , four people have died in the 20-29 age group; 33 in the 30-39 age group; 61 in the 40-49 age group; 144 in the 50-59 age group; 153 in the 60-69 age group; 113 in the 70-79 age group; 55 in the 80-89 age group; and 11 in the 90-99 age group.

Motshekga is aware that a number of schools in different provinces may not be able to resume on-site teaching on Monday, but expected delays to last no longer than a week. "We were instructed on three principles, safety first, as the precondition. Second, make sure schools do not become centres of infection, and then education. So we will rely on schools and provinces to guide us on threats," Motshekga said.

A study published on March 16 in the journal Pediatrics of more than 2 100 children in China found that children of all ages were vulnerable to Covid-19, though the vast majority experienced mild symptoms and some experienced none at all.

Race?

Go back to school they say. I hope this is not ignored. Oooh Thixo ibanathi...🙏🏾 MbuyiseniNdlozi Lesufi

People please don't panik! Yes, school children also get infected just like everybody else BUT they don't get anywhere near as sick as the elderly do! Nevermind hospitalization and deaths. Most of them have the virus and they don't even know it. The elderly on the other hand....

Flu

Out of how many in that age group tested?

angie_motshekga Lesufi if you had kids within this age groups you could understand the frustrations and worry we have as parents 😔

WHO to NDCCC: don't let the herd think they don't have to vaccinate their children. Here, publish some 'statistics' before they send their kids to school.

Deaths are low at the moment for these ages but for how long? I truly hope to the great Lord above that we never find the answer

But they want kids to go back to school...

but how many kids have died fokol corona is a scam

SA's confirmed Covid-19 cases now at 27 403, death toll at 577As the country prepares to move to Level 3 of lockdown from Monday, the number of positive Covid-19 cases in South Africa has increased to 27 403. This is an increase of 1 466 new cases in the last 24 hours. The speed of infections surely is gonna go to 5000 per day soon, the curve is flat and we must open up the economy. Ja when I was saying the lockdown was implemented too early, no one took me serious. These recoveries needs to be listed...something is not adding up. We also need to know how these patients were treated medically...I smell a rat. Family members can't just stand by and accept their loved ones bodies in plastic bags... QuestionableMathematics

Confirmed Covid-19 cases in SA spike to 25,937The recoveries to date are 13,451, which translates to a recovery rate of 52%. Ho hum, wake me when this exceeds last year's seasonal flu stats Mkhize, do you really want to put your face next to those numbers? Why did you let those psycho Aholes intimidate you? We need level 4 in hotspots. After finding out that scientists are not consulted in decision making processes.... I can't find it in me to even read or listen to anything Mkize says. In my opinion, it's uninformed statements which I prefer to ignore. A little knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge.
