A total of 20 999 more people have tested positive for Covid in SA, taking the country’s cumulative total to 1 170 590 with a total of 31 809 deaths.

"Our recoveries now stand at 938 216, representing a recovery rate of 80,1%," the Ministry added.

Earlier today, Dr Zweli Mkhize confirmed that the country will receive its first one million doses of a Covid-19 vaccine this month. "As recently as yesterday, our teams from the National Department of Health and the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority were fine tuning and aligning all the regulations processes to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays or regulatory impediments to activate this roll out.

“We are happy that the SII/ Astra Zeneca vaccine has already been approved by various regulators and is being rolled out in other countries. Therefore, as part of expediting the regulatory process, SAHPRA is applying reliance on that regulatory work," Mkhize said.

Mna just wanna know how is the data collected? There's just no way SA gov is this efficient, hope they're not relying on that App or some exponential formula.

Over 950k recoveries without meds at home. Very important!

When did they change the age range of those able to take the test? Friend who was under 40 was told months ago not to take a test unless he went into hospital. Please advise as now they're testing any age.

Our obstinate attitude is fast marking us for an early grave & reconnecting us with our mortality.
