Today South Africa can celebrate 208 144 COVID-19 recoveries in the country.
South Africa (22 July 2020) – As of the 22 July 2020, there were 168 286 active cases of COVID-19 in South Africa, tragically 5 368 deaths but also 208 144 citizens who had recovered from the disease.
COVID-19 is the greatest global shock in decades. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, and the world’s economy likely faces the worst recession since the 1930s. The resulting loss of employment and income will cause further damage to livelihoods, health, and sustainable development.
The numbers can often seem confusing. As of today, South Africa has conducted 2 536 921 tests and had 381 798 total positive results, but positive results change daily as people recover, so even though there have been over 300 000 positive results, only 168 286 South Africans are currently positive. See confusing.
Here is a different way to report the numbers while still using the same numbers:
- Recoveries: 208 144 (13 279 more than yesterday)
- Active Cases: 168 286 (5 304 LESS than yesterday)
- Deaths: 5 368 (195 more than yesterday)
We know that this pandemic is significant, and many will suffer, and we also know not everyone will survive, but the majority of South Africa (and the globe) will recover!
Currently, the Worldometers website states that over 94% of global cases (that are no longer active) have recovered, while the scientific community believe this number is more accurate at 98%. Only time will really tell.
