The South African Medical Research Council says it is
seeing an increase in Covid-19 samples at wastewater treatment plants in parts
of the Western Cape.
The SAMRC has been surveilling over 80 wastewater treatment
plants to track the Covid-19 pandemic.
The NICD's latest weekly testing summary shows an increase
in the number of people testing positive for Covid-19. The report covering the
first week shows the percentage testing positive was 6.7%, an increase from the
previous week's 5.5%.
Positive tests were highest in Gauteng (9.2%), followed by
Western Cape (7.9%), Free State (7.1%), Limpopo (6.7%), Eastern Cape (5.6%),
and North West (5.3%)…..
The Research Council advises people to wear masks in crowded places and to practice social distancing.
