Health minister provides breakdown of cases province by province
The number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 has risen to 116 since Tuesday’s tally of 85, and includes further cases of local transmission, health minister Zweli Mkhize has announced. There are now 14 cases of local transmission, up from the eight announced yesterday, he said.
The information provided by the minister indicates that four of the 12 cases of local transmission are young children. Covid-19 has raced around the world since it emerged in China three months ago, battering financial markets, disrupting trade and travel, and prompting a growing number of countries to impose increasingly tight restrictions to try to slow transmission.
