Health Minister Zweli Mkhize warns that stricter lockdown measures may be on the cards. South Africa moved to Alert Level 2 on August 18.
In a live interview with eNCA, Mkhize said that while COVID-19 cases are declining in some parts of the province, a resurgence is still possible. A second wave has been noted in some countries which has forced them to impose new restrictions.
While Mkhize hopes South Africa can escape this second wave, he warns that residents need to be proactive to avoid more severe restrictions.
