Ramaphosa met with Cabinet and the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) on Sunday.

 

He's purported to hand down tighter regulations as the country battles rising Covid-19 infections.

 

"The exact time of the President’s address will be announced on Monday," says spokesperson in the Presidency, Tyrone Seale.

 

He last addressed the nation at the start on the month where he warned of a resurgence of cases, calling on South Africans to exercise caution during the holiday season.

 

The Department of Health has since declared a second wave of infections.

 

The country's beaches are now fair game after the coastal provinces made representations to the NCCC.

 

The Eastern Cape wants to close its beaches while the neighbouring Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal want to keep theirs open.

 

South Africa has a cumulative total of 852 965 Covid-19 cases and over 23 000 fatalities.

 

The recovery rate has dropped to 89%.
