He said there were 1 689 active cases in the city yesterday which is an increase from 362 the previous week. Earlier it was reported that a “sustained increase” in Covid-19 cases in Gauteng has been driven by a cluster outbreak among students at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria. Stuurman says new confirmed daily cases have increased exponentially from below 50 to above 300.
