Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town \u2013 A total of 2 383 new Covid-19 cases have been identified in South Africa, bringing the cumulative number of cases to 1 637 848.<\/p>\n

There were 72 more Covid-19-related deaths, said Health Minister Zweli Mkhize on Monday evening: Free State 21, Limpopo 13, Western Cape 13, Gauteng 7, Eastern Cape 6, Mpumalanga 6 and Northern Cape 6. No deaths were recorded in KwaZulu-Natal and North West.<\/p>\n

The total number of Covid-19 deaths stand at 55 874, with the cumulative recoveries at 1 541 250, representing a recovery rate of 94.1%.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a total of 2 894 new Covid-19 cases were reported, with 30 deaths.<\/p>\n

The total vaccinated under the Sisonke Programme is 479 768. These vaccinations were with the one-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine and are therefore completed vaccinations.<\/p>\n

The total vaccinated in Phase 2 as at midnight is 171 860. These vaccinations were with the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.<\/p>\n

The Gauteng health department has increased the number of its Covid-19 vaccination sites from 28 to 63 sites in an effort to ramp up its rollout efforts.<\/p>\n

The department said the extra sites would ensure that more people who were 60 and older would get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

The sites are spread across the five regions of the province: Johannesburg (18), Tshwane (14), Ekurhuleni (14), West Rand (10) and Sedibeng (7).<\/p>\n

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde says the province is seeing a resurgence in Covid-19 infections and may experience a third wave in two to three weeks’ time.<\/p>\n

Winde said the province has enough beds should hospital admissions rise in the projected time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confirm that the Western Cape has sufficient bed capacity to respond to the resurgence in Covid-19 cases and, through previous investments during this pandemic, can bring online additional bed capacity where and when needed,\u201d said Winde.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Israel will end local Covid-19 restrictions following a successful vaccine rollout that has nearly stamped out new infections, the country’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

With the majority of the population having received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and about 92% of those 50 and older inoculated or recovered, Israel has been gradually reopening its economy after three lockdowns.<\/p>\n

The country reported just 12 new virus cases on Saturday, down from a daily peak of more than 10 000 in January.<\/p>\n
