Winde said in a statement on Wednesday: “All indicators point to the Western Cape having exited its third wave peak. According to our data, new cases, hospitalisations and deaths are now all showing consistent declines, pointing to the Western Cape having exited its third wave peak.
’’This third wave peak has been much longer than the second wave peak, resulting in a prolonged period of pressure on our health platform. While we are not completely out of this period of pressure, I do want to upfront thank and honour our healthcare workers who served with courage and determination during this time,’’ Winde said.
’’Now that we have exited our third wave peak, we must have a frank and honest look at whether we are currently getting the balance right in saving both lives and livelihoods in this province. Getting this balance right is the policy of this government because jobs save lives too. ’’This is essential for job creation in our province, especially in our hospitality and events sector as we approach our tourism season. Our health platform data shows consistent decline on all markers.”
There has been a decrease in new admissions and deaths, with an average of 286 new admissions and around 80 deaths each day. This is down from 362 new admissions and around 122 deaths at its highest point on 1 August and 30 July, 2021 respectively.
