President #Ramaphosa: It poses the greatest threat also to the recovery of our economy. This is because the festive season is traditionally a time of gatherings, of travel, of meeting friends and family, and of relaxing after a difficult and stressful year. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: These safety precautions may not seem important until someone you love has been infected with the virus because of your own carelessness. The festive season now poses the greatest threat to the health and well-being of our nation. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: We have gotten into the Christmas spirit early and are inviting friends and family over for get-togethers. Yet, it is our failure to closely adhere to all these basic precautions at all times that has brought us to this second wave. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: We no longer see the point of avoiding crowded venues, or standing more than 1.5 metres from each other, or keeping windows open when travelling on public transport or sanitising commonly used places. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: The relatively low rates of infection over the last few months have made us more relaxed about wearing a mask over our nose and mouth every time we go out in public. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: These measures are particularly important as transmission is often caused by people who are infected but are not yet showing symptoms, if they develop symptoms at all, and may not even know they have the virus. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: It is safer to socialise with your immediate family than with large gatherings that could cause the virus to spread. More broadly, the massive rise in infections is the result of people not observing basic – and easy to follow – practices. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: That means wearing a mask when you’re in public transport and making sure that the windows are open at all times. It also means reducing the number of people that you spend time with if travelling to visit family & friends in other parts of the country. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: Hospitals along the coast from Margate to Knysna are already close to full capacity. We have to recognise that the more we travel, the greater the potential for the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: Another factor in the rise in infections is increased travel with many people not observing prevention measures as they move within cities, towns and rural areas, and between different areas. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: It is said that up to 300 families could in turn have been infected. The sad truth about is that festivals, concerts & parties – which should be occasions for fun & joy – are proving to be sources of infection & illness and may even lead to deaths. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: We now know that nearly 1,000 young people from Gauteng who attended the event have tested positive for the coronavirus. What we don’t yet know is how many more people each of them has infected. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: The recent post-matric Rage Festival event in Ballito is a harsh reminder of how dangerous large gatherings can be. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: Many people consume alcoholic drinks at these ‘super-spreader’ events, with the result that people become less careful about taking measures to protect themselves and prevent infection. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: In many of these gatherings, social distancing is not being observed, venues are crowded and not adequately ventilated, hand sanitiser is not readily available, and people are not wearing masks. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: There are probably many reasons for this massive spike in infections, but some key contributors are now becoming clearer. Gatherings – especially social gatherings and parties – are the largest source of outbreaks. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: For the first time in this pandemic, most of the new infections are among young people, particularly those in the age group of 15 to 19 years. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: The daily average of COVID-19 deaths has increased by nearly 50% over the same period from just over 100 deaths a day to just over 150 deaths. The four provinces that are leading the second wave are Eastern Cape, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: The daily average of new cases nationally over the last 7 days is 74% higher than the previous 7 days. In this time, the number of new cases has increased from a daily average of around 3,800 to just over 6,600 a day. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: Given the rate at which new cases have grown over the last two weeks, there is every possibility that if we do not act urgently and if we do not act together, the second wave will be more severe than the first wave. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: There can no longer be any doubt – that South Africa has entered a second wave of coronavirus infections. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: Yesterday, the 13th of December, we recorded nearly 8,000 new cases. The cumulative number of confirmed coronavirus cases in South Africa now stands at 866,127. These figures are a cause for great concern. — PolitiTweet.org
Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA
President #Ramaphosa: My fellow South Africans, It is just 11 days since I last addressed you. Then I reported on the signs of a resurgence of coronavirus infections in various parts of the country. On that day, the 3rd of December, our country recorded over 4,400 new cases. — PolitiTweet.org
