Johannesburg – South Africa’s acting health minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has said that harsher restrictions could be enforced this coming week to help stem the rise of Covid-19 infections in the country.
Ngubane told SABC news on Sunday, “We are not yet at a place where we have reached herd immunity and the increasing numbers remain a concern and the basic things that we need to do to contain the virus remain critical.”
“The wearing of masks and sanitising of masks are still very important. If South Africans continue to behave recklessly, numbers will go up. We are expecting to make other pronouncements on restrictions to the national coronavirus council this week,” she further said.
Kubayi-Ngubane further urged the nation to play its part in assisting the health system.
