On Friday, it said the situation in the province was getting worse, with hot spots in the area needing special attention. There were 535 more confirmed cases in the province by Friday, raising the number to 4,584, Western Cape Premier Alan Winde announced in his daily updates. “Large groups of people are exposed to infection at shopping centres, farms and factories. And the numbers are set to rise even higher. The ANC calls for a strong presence of national law officials like the SAPS and SANDF in hot spots.”
