'Surge is over' — Zweli Mkhize hints SA may move to level 1 in a few days

The news comes as the country sits with a cumulative total of 640,441 infections and 15,086 deaths related to Covid-19.“We can safely say we are over the surge. June, July and August were the worst months, as predicted by our models. However, we found that not as many people as the model suggested would be affected,” he said.“A major factor is that we embarked on containment measures, and there may well be other factors in the environment here.

“It’s too early to say. We are still discussing all the issues. The president will give us a sense of direction, but we will be preparing to start easing to the next level,” he said.
