South Africa has had 37,875 cases reported today. These cases are mostly from earlier this past week. Below a breakdown of these cases by Specimen Received Date. Mostly from Friday and Thursday.
- So Omicron also reached me. Lucky with very mild symptoms (if I can call it that). 2nd Pfizer just over 3m ago plus another mild case in March this year.
- Cases in SA tonight looks like this if you use specimen received date, add allowance for late reporting and then smooth using a 7-day moving average.
- Cases in Gauteng appear to have reached a peak of about 10,100 per day on 6 Dec on 7-day moving average basis. Cases are now about 8,000 per day on average.
- In SA cases looks like this after including the 37k cases reported yesterday. These are allocated by specimen received date below and I apply a moving average to smooth the weekly patterns. Case growth is steeper than last week but still has slowed down vs. November.
- Replying to @lrossouwThe above means in R in Gauteng has dropped below 1.
- COVID-19 cases in South Africa continue to increase. The 7-day moving average now crossed 3,000 per day. Cases are increasing in all provinces.
- Cases in South Africa are still growing but appear to be slowing down some more. The 7-day moving average is at 21,389 per day, the highest to date. However, the NICD suggests that further late reported cases may be included in coming days.
- In South Africa COVID-19 cases, admissions and hospital deaths appear to be increasing again. Figures are still relatively low. Note that admissions and hospital deaths are by date reported (not date of occurrence).
- Cases are still growing rather rapidly in SA with the 7-day moving average now exceeding 5,000 cases per day.
- Replying to @lrossouwThe above are nationally. In Gauteng it looks like this. Not as big a difference, but Gauteng might still be increasing and we don't know if further late reported cases are to be expected.
- Replying to @lrossouwIn Gauteng daily cases may be flattening out. Tshwane might have peaked. Cases are at 2,717 per day after peaking at 2,852 per day (7-day moving averages). Wave 3 peaked at 3,210 per day.
- The 7-day moving average (by specimen received date) of COVID-19 cases in South Africa has reached a peak of just over 22k cases per day on 12 December. The current figure is about 19,500 per day.
- Replying to @lrossouwCases in Gauteng are still levelling off. Left the total cases in the province and right the cases by district. Tshwane's highest case count on 7-day moving average was 2,871 on 3 Dec. Currently at 2,725 (9 Dec).
