As I reported when I last addressed you, South Africa has emerged from a second wave of infections.   For the past two weeks, the number of new cases has remained relatively stable at around 1,200 new cases per day. https://t.co/BxlN1OLuzp — PolitiTweet.org

1 year later, we have made significant progress in bringing the pandemic under control. The tireless efforts of our healthcare workers have saved many thousands of lives, the pioneering work of our scientific community has led to significant advances in understanding of the virus — PolitiTweet.org

What has perhaps been most difficult of all is how the pandemic has affected the social interactions that make us feel part of a community. We miss the many things we once took for granted, like being able to visit our loved ones, go to a party, or attend religious services. — PolitiTweet.org
