The Western Cape has 7 439 active cases of Covid-19, with a total of 14 978 confirmed cases and 7 221 recoveries and 554 people are in hospital.
Cape Town - The Western Cape has recorded 18 more Covid-19 deaths, bringing the total number of deaths from the virus in the province to 318.
Premier Alan Winde has extended his condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones as the virus continues to spread in the province. This represents a 400% increase in the number of tests conducted in the province since 25 April, and as a result this increase in testing in the Western Cape and in other provinces has resulted in a considerable backlog in the processing of these tests, and in the release of their results by the National Health Laboratory Services .
