Etelä-Afrikassa tartunnat ja potilasmäärät nousseet ja kuolemat laskeneet Omikronin myötä

Siellä on moni rokottamatta.

Omicron-stricken South Africa today posted another 22,391 Covid infections, almost double last week's tally
Hospitalisations ticked up another 65 per cent in a week, but deaths fell by half on the previous period

Omicron-stricken South Africa's daily Covid cases soared to another five-month high today, official figures showed — but data suggests infections in the country's ground 'zero' may now be flattening.

Nationally 22,391 cases were detected in the past 24 hours almost double the tally on the previous Thursday, the country's National Institute for Communicable Diseases said.

Daily hospitalisations have shot up 65 per cent in a week with 453 people admitted to wards, but doctors on the frontlines insist that it is only causing mild disease.
