Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
One would think there would be less accidents during lockdown, but an unfortunate incident happened in Bloemfontein.
The Health ministry said in a statement released on Wednesday night that there has been an increase in testing for the coronavirus by 5,678, with 63,776 South Africans having been tested for COVID-19 in total.
South Africans are allowed to leave the house to purchase essential goods during the lockdown period.
However, two people did not return home and were rushed to hospital after being injured by a police van.
