The country goes right back into level 4

Briefly News earlier reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa warned the country that we face another grave challenge with hospital admissions were rising and Covid-19 infections were getting worse with the peak of this wave being higher than the previous two.

As a result, new restrictions will be put into place as South Africa moves to Alert Level 4. A massive resurgence of infections is being experienced in South Africa as the third wave of infections sweeps across the country with more than 11 400 people currently hospitalised with Covid-19 with private and government facilities buckling under the pressure with ICU beds in short supply.
