Health officials in China reported 22 new virus cases in Beijing, where they have tested more than two million residents as they seek to contain a wave of new infections linked to a wholesale market in the capital.

In Africa, 9,312 new cases were recorded to bring the total number of cases to 309, 153. Countries which include South Africa, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria and Algeria make up for nearly 70% of confirmed cases in Africa.

The Covid-19 pandemic is reaching its “peak” in the Western Cape and the elderly and ill have been urged to lock down. More than 350 people died in the past week in the province. The Western Cape still leads in the number of Covid-19 cases, with just over half the national total – 52.9%. Gauteng follows, with 21.4%, and the Eastern Cape, with 16.2%.

According to the country’s statistics more men have so far succumbed to Covid-19 as opposed to women and the toll the virus is taking on men is seemingly no different anywhere else in the world.
