Number of active Covid-19 cases in Tshwane drops below 2000
The City of Tshwane has recorded a significant drop in active Covid-19 cases.
As of Tuesday, the city recorded 105 new daily cases bringing the total number of active cases to 1 865.
Tshwane Mayor Randall Williams says the drop in cases is an indication that significant progress has been made in reducing the spread of the virus.
“The city continues to witness a strong recovery rate, which stands at 96%, with a continued decline
in the number of new daily cases. It is important that residents in the city remain cautious and vigilant in their daily engagements and activities.
“Statistics indicate that the second surge of Covid-19 in Tshwane was much more severe than the previous surge experienced in July.”
He says the city is ready and prepared to roll out a Covid-19 vaccine.
“The announcement by the national government that the AstraZeneca vaccine will not be rolled out is of course a setback in the country’s long-term fight to contain the spread of the virus.
“It is critical that the country has vaccines in place so that we protect our citizens. Regardless, the City of Tshwane is ready, we have identified the facilities which must support these efforts and ensure that our staff are trained and prepared for when vaccines arrive.”
