KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala says it is too early for the province to start celebrating the decline in Covid-19 cases.

“A total of 7,043 health-care workers were infected with Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. Above 60% of the infected HCWs have recovered. Of the total infected, 67 succumbed to the disease,” said Zikalala.

“We have seen the threats of the second wave as reported in countries such as China, Italy, Spain and the US. Our message is still very clear: adhering to lockdown regulations FOR level 2 is crucial to curbing the spread of Covid-19,” he said.
