Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In considering what new measures we have to take we have drawn on international best practice and scientific data from studies across the world. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Even as our hospitals have made extraordinary efforts to accommodate patients, ICU beds are in short supply. What we are seeing is that the existing containment measures in place are not enough to cope with the speed and scale of new infections. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Safeguarding the capacity of our health facilities to cope with rising infections is a priority. In several provinces, our public health facilities are stretched to their limits, and private facilities are also buckling under the strain. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The difficult truth is that complacency comes at a high price. We must maintain our guard and continue to be careful at all times. We must follow the public health regulations that are there for our own safety and the safety of others. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have all had to endure great hardship over the past year and a half. We may have thought that with life slowly returning to normal, we could take a more casual approach to the public health regulations. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The 1st wave lasted 15 weeks. The 2nd wave lasted 9 weeks. We don’t know how long this one will last, but indications are that it could last longer. I know that is the last thing many of you want to hear. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are in the grip of a devastating wave that by all indications seems like it will be worse than those that preceded it. The peak of this third wave looks set to be higher than the previous two. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must all be worried about what we are seeing unfold before our very eyes. Every one of us has a friend, a family member or a colleague who has been infected. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We also must remain vigilant in the Northern Cape and Free State, which may experience a second spike of cases if the new variant spreads there as well. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Gauteng now accounts for more than 60 per cent of new cases in the country. With the exceptions of the Northern Cape and Free State, infections are rising rapidly in all other provinces. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As of today, the 7-day average of new daily cases nationally has overtaken the peak of the first wave in July last year, and will soon overtake the peak of the second wave we experienced in January this year. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Reports from some countries, including on our continent, also suggest that infections and clinical illness in children may be more common with the delta variant, even as the overall rate of infection remains substantially lower than in adults. https://t.co/pvoJdA8bTx — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fourthly, because it is much more contagious, the measures we have so far adopted to contain the spread of the virus may no longer be sufficient to reduce transmission. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Thirdly, there is now emerging scientific evidence that people previously infected with the Beta variant do not have full protection against the Delta variant, and may get re-infected. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Secondly, because it is more contagious, it can infect far more people. As with the previous variants, you can pass it on without even knowing you have it. https://t.co/pvoJdA8bTx — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are concerned about the rapid spread of this variant. Firstly, because it is more transmissible than previously circulating viruses, meaning it is easier to catch through person-to-person contact. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The evidence we have is that the Delta variant is rapidly displacing the Beta variant, which has been dominant in our country until now. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Delta variant has now been detected in five of our provinces, namely the Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This variant was first detected in India at the end of March this year, and is now found in 85 countries. The Delta variant spread like wildfire in India in an alarming manner. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our scientists tell us that COVID-19 virus has many variants. Last year, we experienced the Beta variant. In addition, we now have the Delta variant. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To date, African Union Member States have reported over 5.2 million cases and over 138,000 deaths from COVID-19. The COVID-19 virus that descended on our country in March last year has been continuing to mutate, creating new variants. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Along with many other countries in Africa, South Africa is seeing a massive resurgence of infections. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reports that a third wave of the disease is underway on the continent. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The average number of daily new infections was more than doubling, hospital admissions were rising, and deaths from COVID-19 were increasing by nearly 50 per cent. As I address you this evening, the situation has gotten worse. https://t.co/pvoJdA8bTx — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We now face another great challenge, another hill to climb. Twelve days ago, I addressed you to warn that a new and deadly third wave of infections had begun in a number of our provinces, and was spreading. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As a country, we have faced two devastating waves of coronavirus infections. We have overcome these by responding swiftly and decisively, and by acting together to contain the spread of the virus and protect ourselves, our families and our communities. https://t.co/pvoJdzQB1Z — PolitiTweet.org
