Six new Covid-19 deaths as cases climb above 2,000

There are now 24 confirmed deaths linked to Covid-19 in SA, half of them in KwaZulu-Natal.

“As of today, the total number of tests conducted is 73,028. The number of confirmed positive cases is 2,003. Total number of deaths has risen to 24,” he said. Other provinces affected were the Eastern Cape , Limpopo , Mpumalanga , North West and Northern Cape . Ten cases were unallocated. Mkhize said there was evidence that the decision to go into lockdown early — and to extend it by a further two weeks — was a good one.
