Gauteng has reported<\/a> <\/strong>3,993 additional coronavirus cases, cementing its position as one of the new coronavirus epicentres in the country.<\/p>\n

The latest available data shows that the province now has 49,937 total cases.<\/p>\n

Total recoveries in the province now sit at 14,097, while deaths have risen to 282. A total of 1,800 people are currently hospitalised in either public or private facilities.<\/p>\n

Looking at the data from a district level, the City of Johannesburg has reported the most cases (24,244 cases), followed by Ekurhuleni (10,797) and Tshwane (7,895).<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> <\/strong>on Friday, Gauteng health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku said that government\u2019s National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) will meet this weekend to discuss possible coronavirus interventions in the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to implement a lockdown (is a) decision that is taken by the National Coronavirus Command Council and we are waiting for its meeting this weekend,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn intermittent lockdown is an option on how we are going to apply a lockdown and the NCCC can decide to take another decision on what we can implement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole matter will be on how we mitigate the risk, how we protect the (healthcare) system and how we protect our healthcare workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, after the June period we have been through, we need to give our healthcare system a breather and also give our healthcare workers time to refresh and be able to prepare for the next spate of infections.<\/p>\n

The below table outlines the hotspot areas and where the most number of cases have been reported.<\/p>\n
