Mkhize said SA was only now considering easing some of its Covid-19 related restrictions but 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. WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he hoped the organisation’s long-standing co-operation with SA gave it a firm grounding for this latest challenge.
Mkhize said that while the surge was anticipated, it happened in numbers that were much lower than originally expected.
