Twelve more people succumb to COVID-19 in South Africa, of which three died in the past 24 to 48 hours

In South Africa, COVID-19 claimed the lives of twelve more persons, three of whom passed away in the previous 24 to 48 hours.

This brings the total number of fatalities in the nation since the epidemic to 101 907, according to the most recent figures from the Department of Health.

397 additional COVID-19 cases were reported to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD), bringing the total number of cases that have been confirmed in laboratories to 3 998 863.

With 123 illnesses discovered in the province, Gauteng continues to lead the country in infection rates, followed by the Western Cape (94), KwaZulu-Natal (53), and the Eastern Cape (33).

In addition, 1 114 individuals, including 10 who were admitted on Wednesday, are now receiving inpatient treatment for COVID-19.

Statistics show that there are now 7 773 active cases in the nation, with a 97.3 percent recovery rate.

global perspective

After a declining trend since the last peak in March 2022, the number of weekly cases has increased globally for the fifth week in a row.

Over 5.7 million new cases were reported between July 4 and July 10, 2022, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a 6 percent increase from the week before.

Over 9 800 fatalities were reported to WHO during the week, which was a similar number to that seen the week before.

At the national level, France (771 260), the United States (722 924), Italy (661 984), Germany (561 136) and Brazil saw the highest number of new weekly cases (396 781).

The United States (1 987), Brazil (1 639), China (692), Spain (619), and Italy reported the newest weekly deaths (574).

Globally, more than 6.3 million fatalities and slightly under 553 million confirmed cases had been reported as of July 10, 2022.

According to the agency, “These developments should be viewed with caution as numerous nations have been gradually altering COVID-19 testing procedures, leading to fewer total numbers of tests performed and hence lower numbers of cases diagnosed.” –
