Record high of 345 Covid-19 deaths in a day in SA

Cape Town – South Africa recorded its highest number of Covid-19-related deaths in a single day of 345 on Tuesday.

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde had said earlier on Tuesday that only 33 deaths in the province were new fatalities, with the remaining 60 deaths arising from a “backlog of people who had died at home and not at a healthcare facility”. Since early July, the average daily case increases over seven days rose above 10 000 new cases a day, rising to a high of more than 12 000, and now declining again to just over 10 000.
