Though there has been a notable decline in the number of new Covid-19 cases recently, SA is not yet past the surge in infections.

Mkhize said SA was only now considering easing some of its Covid-19 related restrictions, and it has not yet crossed the critical juncture of reopening its borders.

WHO regional director for Africa Dr Matshidiso Moeti said the surge team of 43 experts was a mobilisation of expertise from the global organisation, and would provide support in a number of technical areas. Mkhize said the country had in the past few weeks seen some provinces, which had been carrying the highest burden of the virus, showing a downward trend. These included Gauteng, with about 195,000 total cases, the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape.However, there are still concerns about KwaZulu-Natal, which this week became the second worst-hit province in terms of overall infections.
