South Africa records highest daily COVID-19 infections a day before easing lockdown looms

The Hindu  

The number of COVID-19 cases in South Africa surged past the 5,000-mark on Thursday after it recorded the highest single-day jump, just a day before the country was set to gradually ease its over a month-long nationwide lockdown. Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said that there had been a 73% daily increase in confirmed COVID-19 infections, with 354 new cases taking the total to 5,350. The department also expressed concern that that the number of new cases in the Western Cape Province had almost doubled from 133 to 264. “In the past 24 hours the Western Cape contributed to 75% of the total new cases nationally while only contributing 30% of total tests over the same period.
