Johannesburg - Health Minister Zweli Mkhize says the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases has increased by 96 to Mkhize said the number of deaths due to the virus now stands at 18 from 13 deaths on Tuesday.
"We have closed down the hospital but this was done in phases. Firstly, we instructed that as of Wednesday last week, the hospital should not take any more patients. However, before we started discharging or transferring patients, we tested all the patients. With the treatment and results, we have been able to discharge patients, not infected with Covid-19, to other facilities," she said.
"This can create discrepancies between the national and provincial data but does not impact the accuracy of any of the numbers released," said Winde.
