Johannesburg is South Africa’s biggest city and capital of Gauteng province which is bearing the impact of the COVID-19 third wave.

The province recently recorded over 14 000 new infections in a day.

On Friday, South Africa breached the two million COVID-19 cases mark, with a further 24 270 new infections recorded on Thursday. It is the highest ever number of new coronavirus cases the country has reported in a day.

Neighbouring countries including Zimbabwe are also grappling with the novel virus prompting governments in those countries to reimpose strict preventive measures aimed at stopping the spread of the virus.
