Cape Metro Sub-districts:

Unallocated: 2639 (2134 recovered) 

Data note:

• It is not always possible to check and verify that the address data supplied for each new recorded case is correct, within the time frames required to provide regular and timely updates. This means that in some instances, cases could be allocated to the wrong sub-districts. We are working with the sub-districts to clean and verify the data and where errors are picked up locally, cases will be re-allocated to the correct areas.  

The Western Cape has recorded additional 22 deaths, bringing the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in the province to 472. We send our condolences to their loved ones at this time.

Digicon update:

Earlier today I held my weekly digicon in which I detailed the Western Cape Government's interventions in order to roll back the resurgence this holiday season and save lives and the economy.
