Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize has sounded the alarm over a worrying trend of an increase in the number of new daily Covid-19 cases.
This comes as more than 2 000 new coronavirus infections were confirmed in the 24 hours leading up to Thursday evening, the second day in a row and the highest daily total in months.
Mkhize says in a statement the significant rise in percentage changes should be taken as a serious warning.
He said that in the past two weeks, they’ve noticed an increasing number of cases with the Free State, Gauteng, Northern Cape and North West of particular concern.
