Cape Town - As the country recorded 100 deaths last Friday, and infection rates plateauing after steadily decreasing, there is still no indication of a third wave.
Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize is touring the country to ramp up support for the vaccination campaign and was in the province, saying the country hopes to push efforts to see phase 1 of vaccinations wrapped up by mid-May.
Mkhize was speaking at a media briefing, at Lentegeur Hospital, yesterday.
As the country pushes to vaccinate its health-care workers, it is simultaneously putting plans in place for the second phase roll-out, which will run until mid-October.
