WATCH: Expect exponential rise in infections this week, Ramaphosa tells Sanef

In a conversation between the South African National Editors’ Forum and President Cyril Ramaphosa to address the Covid-19 crisis, the president said he remained open to engaging with the media on the status of the country.“We have 30,967 confirmed cases with some several recoveries.”

In highlighting the positive impact of the national lockdown, he said there was an identified doubling of infections before government’s intervention for a lockdown. Government had continued to ramp up efforts to galvanise the health sector in preparing for the spike in cases when the country moves to level 3 of the lockdown regulations on Monday, June 1.

Confirming the reported number of deaths at 643, he said efforts to reduce the spread in the Western Cape was a priority.The country would receive around 1 million masks this week while different government sectors continued to work on the local production of protective gear. “We are running short of test kits,” noted Ramaphosa, confirming that the country had made numerous investments in existing hospital services as a measure to adapt to the crises.

Gov so far behind in testing. How can we believe the figures they put out.

Duh, is that a scientific analysis or your own interpretation?

Stupid president we are here because of his wrong decisions, now it's like he's accepting that he's failing to do what promised, that everything is under control we mustn't panic.

How so when u have backlog of tests samples collected during stricter levels?

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know this CyrilRamaphosa Where are your police in this video, that might be a clue as to why your lock down policing has failed in some places
