Covid cases in South Africa are on the rise ahead of a predicted fourth wave. The country has recorded 1,886 new virus cases since Saturday and 22 deaths from coronavirus. Health Minister Joe Phaahla has urged more people to get vaccinated. Mr Phaahla says the uptake of vaccines has gone down in recent days. The government says it has no plans to enforce a hard lockdown during the wave. The fourth wave was predicted to start next month through January.
