In the past 24 hours, about 4 424 new cases have been recorded, which represents a 10.2% positivity rate.

CAPE TOWN - With South Africa on the brink of a third wave, it has been confirmed that discussions are under way to decide which lockdown measures will be introduced to militate against the imminent third wave of the pandemic.

While the Cabinet continues with consultations on what interventions to introduce, some experts say government needs to focus on gatherings and an extended evening curfew. “I would urge people to avoid big gatherings, limit their movement late at night. Any event enclosed with poor ventilation with many people will be a super-spreading event,” she added.
