For over two years COVID-19 daily updates have been part of our lives.

But the National institute for Communicable Diseases says the present phase of the pandemic, coupled with dwindling COVID-19 case numbers has necessitated a re-evaluation of their daily reporting strategy.
 
Through careful consideration and extensive council, it has been agreed that the reporting of daily COVID-19 surveillance data will conclude on Friday, 29 July 2022.

The reporting of COVID-19 surveillance data, however, including the latest Testing Summary, will continue as per normal with the data being published in the existing weekly surveillance reports.

#COVID19 UPDATE: 8,212 tests were conducted in the last 24hrs, with 521 new cases. Today @HealthZA reports 7 deaths; of which 2 occurred in the past 24–48 hrs. Total fatalities are 101,962 to date: https://t.co/7pHfkgdMA7 pic.twitter.com/SYJ79bfWa0
