There were also 37 new hospitalisations in the past day, meaning that there are 2,715 people being treated for Covid-19 related complications in SA's hospitals.There were particular concerns over the number of people testing positive in Gauteng — Tshwane especially — “among 10 to 29 year olds over the past week”.
“We are monitoring these trends to see if these increases persist. Localised increases in case numbers are not unexpected, however, so it is hard to say whether the increases indicate the start of a widespread resurgence,” said NICD acting executive director Prof Adrian Puren.
