The threat of a third wave has become imminent with the first noticeable rise in cases expected before Easter.
Experts from the Nelson Mandela Bay University have shared their latest modelling for a potential resurgence in COVID-19, and they believe that history could repeat itself in the Eastern Cape.

Professor Darelle van Greunen, the director of the Centre for Community Technologies, states that Buffalo City will also be hit ‘as early as next week.
NMU’s sharpest minds are calling for strict preventative measures to be put in place as early as possible.
