South Africa has recorded 2 728 new Covid-19 cases and 72 new deaths in the past 24 hours, the national Department of Health said on Sunday.

This takes the total number of cases in the country to 609 773 with a cumulative death toll of 13 059.

Over the past two weeks the number of new cases reported has begun to decline, but Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has repeatedly cautioned that South Africans should not become lax in observing the safety protocols to minimize transmission of the virus.

Among the latest fatalities come 11 from Eastern Cape, 41 from Gauteng, 12 from KwaZulu-Natal, and 8 from Western Cape.

 

To date, 3 553 425 tests have been conducted with 18 358 new tests conducted in the past 24 hours.
