CAPE TOWN - Medical scientists say South Africa has just passed the peak of the current COVID-19 resurgence.
In most provinces, there has, however, been a reduction in new COVID-19 cases being recorded week on week. Head of the Centre for Respiratory Diseases and Meningitis, Professor Cheryl Cohen: "In all the provinces we're seeing a reduction of cases except for Northern Cape province - the cases are still going up but I think it was just lagging behind so for example, Gauteng, which was the first affected in this resurgence, is going on for longer than others, so the other provinces started a bit later but essentially most provinces are now seeing a reduction in cases.
