The NICD says children aged 10 and below were recorded to have had the lowest number of COVID-19 cases during the country’s 4th wave of the pandemic.

The NICD’s Michelle Groome was speaking during a virtual media briefing on government’s efforts to fight the pandemic.

“In terms of age, I think we know there was a lot of concern at the beginning of the fourth wave in terms of the increases in numbers of COVID-19 in children but in under 10-year-olds, the incidents have remained the lowest out of all the age groups. I think there were increased incidents, compared to other waves, in the 20-39-year-olds. But we have seen a decrease in terms of the overall incidents across the waves in the elderly.

The NICD also says there has been a decrease in the COVID-19 test positivity rates across all nine provinces over the past two weeks.The Health Department has warned that, despite a noted decrease in COVID-19-related deaths, the Omicron variant is highly transmissible.“Gauteng has officially exited the fourth wave, according to the wave metrics that we have been using for previous waves.

They never had covid stop lying

This coronavirus is very mysterious. It seems to only attack and sadly kill people with existing health conditions. These are the people who need the vaccine; people with existing health conditions. Not kids and not healthy people with no history of serious illness.
