Thanks Facilitator Mr Foster Mohale

Greetings to Deputy Minister Dr Dhlomo and MEC Sambatha,

And other panellists,

Members of the media, viewers and listeners.

Good morning

 

It’s our pleasure and privilege to again be back to share with South Africans progress and challenges in the fight against COVID-19, the invisible enemy.

I am pleased to report that we are steadily getting out of the grip of the third wave driven by the Delta variant. Nationally there has been a 24% drop in new cases compared to 7 days before. Over this period the highest case incidence has been in the N Cape province, followed by F State and then KZN in terms of cases per 100 000 population.
