President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation on Sunday evening and his message was clear: It is up to everyone to collectively fight the spread of the coronavirus.
He added that Cabinet and the National Coronavirus Command Council have considered returning the country to a higher alert level in light of increasing infections. Current measures in place will be strengthened and the wearing of masks is non-negotiable going forward. “Gauteng is fast approaching 100,000 confirmed cases. The Eastern Cape has passed 50,000 cases,” he said, adding that the Western Cape was also severely affected as it approaches 80,000 cases.
