Senior researcher at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Dr Ridhwaan Suliman says inland provinces are contributing to the decrease in Covid-19 cases, however, coastal provinces are still on an upward trend.
Speaking to the SABC on Sunday he said the Western Cape is currently the epicenter of the third wave in the country and is reporting over 3 100 cases on average over the past week. “In KwaZulu-Natal, new cases have increased by 28% week-on-week and there are certainly no signs of slowing down there. I think that is something to watch for for the next couple of weeks,” he said.
Cases in the Eastern Cape have also shown an increase, he said, with the province recording a 14% increase week-on-week.
