[Thread] 1. #Phaahla: SA's 3rd #COVID19 wave has been considerably longer than other waves:
1. First wave = 87 days
2. Second wave = 95 days
3. Third wave (so far) = 120 days
1. First wave = 87 days
2. Second wave = 95 days
3. Third wave (so far) = 120 days
2. #Phaahla: When compared to the previous 7 days, overall new #COVID19 cases are down by 35%. The positivity rate (the % of tests that come out +) is down by 9.5% to an average + rate of 9.3%. That brings us closer to the WHO's recommend, "safer" +rate of 5%.
3. #Phaahla: Active #COVID19 cases are going down. The WC and KZN still have the highest numbers of active cases, but they're slowly coming down.
3. #Phaahla: On Sun, the president could relax #lockdown regulations, at least partly because people are complying with regulations. If SAs continue to comply, we will see more relaxations.
4. #Phaahla: In 2 wks the coronavirus council will meet, and if SAs continue to comply with #lockdown regs, the hlth dpt will recommend that the curfew be relaxed to midnight + alcohol can be sold on Sat (currently = only Mon - Fri). But that depends on how well SAs behave.
