Covid-19 cases spike by 3 147 as 1-million-tests milestone reached
As of Thursday, 11 June 2020, the cumulative number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in South Africa is 58,568.
“Today we have reached a milestone – over one million tests have been completed,” Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said.
“This was no small feat and I would like to pay tribute to all the technicians and pathologists in the NHLS and private laboratories and all the staff who work in the most risky environment, 24 hours a day, to churn out these results.
“South Africa was one of the first off the mass-testing mark and we were the first country to do community screening and testing."
