According to the stats I just saw on the Ministry of Health Whatsapp service, South Africa now has 1187 confirmed cases of COVID-19. This number is up by only 17 cases since yesterday’s total. I have a really hard time believing this – I think it must be a reporting error – but who knows. I guess miracles are possible. Either way we’ve still got 19 more days of lockdown.
