South Africa's Covid-19 cases surge to 3953, with 10 more deaths

This is an increase of 318 new infections from Wednesday, the highest single jump since the virus entered South Africa’s shores in March. The total number of deaths from the virus now also stands at 75.

South Africa is currently on Day 28 of its lockdown which is expected to come to an end at the end of April, but President Cyril Ramaphosa could still yet extend the lockdown longer if he deems it fit do so. He is expected to take advice from several stakeholders ahead of making the decision. Meanwhile, the Western Cape had the most new cases with 200 out of the new 318 cases. The Western Cape province also had 6 deaths out of the 10 recorded on Thursday. This means that the Western Cape province now has the most deaths in the country, with 28, as well as the most cases, with 1 279.

This is scary and disturbing God help us ALL🙏

10 deaths!!!
