Prof Salim Abdool Karim said future variants could continue to evolve and spread faster, but cause less severe disease.

Karim’s statement comes after National Institute for Communicable Diseases acting executive director Prof Adrian Puren said the country is likely to exit the fourth wave in the next week., Puren said the trajectory of the fourth wave was downwards in the majority of provinces and he hoped that would continue, especially with schools reopening and people returning to their home provinces.

“I think that particular picture is promising at this time and that will continue so that we move out of this fourth resurgence.” The department said it had been working jointly with stakeholders, including the presidency and the transport department, to target travellers entering and leaving SA for vaccination against Covid-19.
