The Western Cape Health Department on Saturday said it was seeing early signs of stabilization in the number of new COVID-19 infections.
The province currently has about 40,000 active cases.
More than 8,000 deaths have been recorded since the pandemic hit our shores in March last year.
The Western Cape reached its peak this past week and according to senior health officials, it is expected to conclude over the next few days.
Provincial Head of Health Dr. Keith Cloete said he was pleased that there were already positive signs of stabilization.
“We are seeing early evidence of stabilization in the number of cases, stabilization in the number of hospitalizations and oxygen use across the hospitals.”
For this reason, the department expected to see a decline in infections in the coming weeks.
Cloete urged Capetonians to, however, continue doing their best bit to stop the spread of the virus.
“It is also clear from international experience that there are risks of a third wave and we should be mindful as we prepare for that.”
