Health Minister, Dr Zweli Mkhize, has again urged South Africans to continue to stay home.
The minister’s message comes as seven more fatalities have been recorded, bringing the total number of coronavirus deaths in the country to 138 and the number of infections on 7 220.
Dr Mkize says as the winter season sets in, society will be confronted with the additional burden of influenza and other cases of pneumonia.
