As of yesterday, the official number of COVID-19 cases was 150 but the Health Minister predicted that the number is likely going to jump to 200 by the end of this week.
The revelations come after a surge in the number of Coronavirus cases in the country.
According to reports, the minister estimates that around 60% to 70% of South Africans will contract the virus and 20% of these cases will be serious cases.
Mkhize made the alarming revelations while speaking to doctors in Pretoria. Mkhize also noted that the government should brace itself for a serious challenge.
With current capacity at around 5 000 tests daily, he revealed that the number is also likely to increase to 15 000 by as soon as next week and again to over 30 000 by mid-April.
