Mkhize said officials had now conducted over one million Covid-19 tests, with over 32 000 tests conducted in the past 24 hours. 

Friday’s death tally showed that there were 70 more Covid-19 deaths recorded, with 39 of the deceased coming from the Western Cape. 

Egypt reported on Friday 1,577 new coronavirus cases, the highest single-day increase recorded so far, bringing the total number of cases to 41,303.

The health ministry’s daily bulletin also recorded 45 fatalities, bringing the total number of deaths to 1,422.

The ministry said that 417 patients had fully recovered and were discharged from isolation hospitals and quarantine facilities. The total number of recoveries from the highly contagious virus now stands at 11,108.
