President ‘worried’ as South Africa’s virus cases rise fast

Associated Press  

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — South Africa’s numbers of COVID-19 are “rising fast,” according to President Cyril Ramaphosa, who says that he’s worried. More than half of South Africa’s more than 50,000 confirmed cases have been recorded in the last two weeks, prompting concerns that Africa’s most developed economy is about to see a steep rise in infections. South Africa’s lockdown, imposed on March 27, is credited with slowing the spread of the virus but because of the drastic economic effects Ramaphosa’s government has had to lift many restrictions to allow people to return to work. The disease has risen dramatically in the neighboring Eastern Cape province, which will severely test South Africa’s ability to deal with the virus in poor, rural areas.
