The province has recorded a 39% increase in new cases, week-on-week, which is officially a resurgence. Winde and Dr Cloete have reiterated that behaviour change is key to mitigate the onset of a third wave. Winde says it’s about taking responsibility. The provincial health department also noted the increase in cases were concentrated in more affluent suburbs. Some cases have been traced back to parties and social gatherings, with an increased number of gatherings at social clubs, such as at golf and bowling clubs.
