JOHANNESBURG • The newly discovered Omicron variant is likely to fuel a surge in South Africa’s coronavirus cases, possibly causing daily infections to treble this week, a top epidemiologist warned yesterday.
Health monitors reported over 2,800 new infections in the country on Sunday, up from a daily average of 500 in the previous week and 275 the week before.
“We can expect that higher transmissibility is likely and so we are going to get more cases quickly,” Dr Salim Abdool Karim said at an online press briefing by the Health Ministry. “I am expecting we will top over 10,000 cases (a day) by the end of the week (and) see pressure on hospitals within the next two, three weeks.”
