In South Africa, the number of people infected with a new variant of the coronavirus has doubled in a day. On the other hand, South Africa has also accelerated the pace of vaccination so that more and more people can be vaccinated and saved from new variants.
At the same time, if experts studying on Omicron are to be believed, then early signs of this strain suggest that Omicron may be more infectious than the previous variant,
Releasing the data, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases said that this new strain of corona has caught 8,561 people in the last 24 hours, while 4,373 cases were found a day before.
At the same time, 72 percent of the patients who have been victims of virus infection have come from Gauteng province. In view of the increasing number of infected, any ceremony in Gauteng province has been banned indefinitely. And the pressure on the government has increased to ban the gathering of people who have not been vaccinated. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Sunday that the lowest level of lockdown in the country, that is, the first category, would continue. Analysts say that under this low-level lockdown, a large number of people are allowed to gather in the country and there is a need to reduce this number.
