The number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in South Africa has increased to 23 615. This is 1 032 more cases than previously reported. 

The total number of recoveries stands at 11 917.

A total of 596 777 tests have been conducted to date, with 12 992 tests done in last past 24-hour testing cycle.

On Sunday, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that while the country will be downgrading to level 3, the government has identified several hot-spot areas where they will continue to monitor Covid-19 cases. 

“Even as we move to alert level 3, it is important that we should be aware that there are a few parts of the country where the disease is concentrated and where infections continue to rise. 

“We will have a differentiated approach to deal with those areas that have far higher levels of infection and transmission. The list of hot-spot areas will be reviewed every two weeks depending on the progression of the virus
