CAPE TOWN - Health Minister Zweli Mkhize says new restrictions are inevitable as the country approaches the third wave.
The number of positive Covid-19 cases has been steadily increasing, for the past weeks. At a provincial level, the Free State and Gauteng were now experiencing a third wave.
Northern Cape never met the technical criterion for exiting the second wave and has experienced a significant resurgence in recent weeks. Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, North West and the Western Cape are showing sustained increases, while Limpopo and Eastern Cape are the only two provinces not at risk of a third wave at present.
