Regrettably, we report a further 839 deaths: Eastern Cape 102 , Free State 20, Gauteng 48, Kwa- Zulu Natal 263, Limpopo 238, Mpumalanga 11, North West 25, Northern Cape 2 and Western  Cape 130 which brings the total to 38 288 deaths

The high number reported today is due to data reconciliation as part of the regular auditing pro- ces- this includes the analysis of community data taking into account (amongst others): post mortem swabs, backlogged data and unconfirmed outcomes at facilities.

We convey our condolences to the loved ones of the departed and thank the health care workers who treated these patients
