The most affected country in the continent

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the continent, starting in Egypt on February 14, 2020, South Africa has been harshly affected, quickly becoming the worst-hit country in Africa. Gauteng, the province with Johannesburg as its capital, was the most affected regionally with over 1.2 million cases as of early March, 2022. As well as its health effects, the pandemic had a strong impact on businesses with nine out of ten businesses operating in different industries claiming that the turnover was below the normal range they used to receive as of April 2020.

Vaccination efforts

Countries around the world are racing to get their populations vaccinated to be able to go back to normal. As the fourth wave hits South Africa in December 2021, and as the different stronger variants emerge, the country is also trying to vaccinate its population faster to minimize the severe health effects. After facing a harsh start to its vaccination program due to the ineffectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine to the Beta variant also known as B.1.351, on May 17, 2021, South Africa began the second phase of its vaccination program, opening it for people who are 60 and over. Previously, the so-called Sisonke Program was rolled out as the first phase to ensure the vaccination of the health workers protecting them from the pandemic. As of March 6, 2022, Gauteng was the region with the highest number of vaccinated individuals followed by Western Cape with around 9.02 million and five million inoculations, respectively.

As of June 7, 2021, a total of 57,063 COVID-19 related casualties and 1,581,540 recoveries were registered in South Africa. Western Cape registered 11,881 casualties and 279,984 recoveries in total, closely followed by Eastern Cape with only 208 casualties less and 185,995 recoveries.

Analyzing the confirmed coronavirus cases per region in South Africa, Gauteng was hit hardest. As of June 7, 2021, the region with Johannesburg as its capital registered 476,514 cases of COVID-19.

As of November 16, 2020, a total of 17.577 COVID-19 related casualties were registered in South Africa. Some 14.1 percent of the deaths fell within the age group of 60 to 64 years with, whereas 12.6 percent of whom were aged 55 to 59 passed away due to the diseases caused by the coronavirus. Confirmed coronavirus cases per region in South Africa illustrated Gauteng was hit hardest. As of January 15, 2021, the region with Johannesburg as its capital registered 350,976 individuals with COVID-19 , whereas KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape had dealt with less cases.

BackgroundUneven vaccination and less resilient health care systems mean hospitals in LMICs are at risk of being overwhelmed during periods of increased COVID-19 infection. Risk-scores proposed for rapid triage of need for admission from the emergency department (ED) have been developed in higher-income settings during initial waves of the pandemic.MethodsRoutinely collected data for public hospitals in the Western Cape, South Africa from the 27th August 2020 to 11th March 2022 were used to derive a cohort of 446,084 ED patients with suspected COVID-19. The primary outcome was death or ICU admission at 30 days. The cohort was divided into derivation and Omicron variant validation sets. We developed the LMIC-PRIEST score based on the coefficients from multivariable analysis in the derivation cohort and existing triage practices. We externally validated accuracy in the Omicron period and a UK cohort.ResultsWe analysed 305,564 derivation, 140,520 Omicron and 12,610 UK validation cases. Over 100 events per predictor parameter were modelled. Multivariable analyses identified eight predictor variables retained across models. We used these findings and clinical judgement to develop a score based on South African Triage Early Warning Scores and also included age, sex, oxygen saturation, inspired oxygen, diabetes and heart disease. The LMIC-PRIEST score achieved C-statistics: 0.82 (95% CI: 0.82 to 0.83) development cohort; 0.79 (95% CI: 0.78 to 0.80) Omicron cohort; and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.79 to 0.80) UK cohort. Differences in prevalence of outcomes led to imperfect calibration in external validation. However, use of the score at thresholds of three or less would allow identification of very low-risk patients (NPV ≥0.99) who could be rapidly discharged using information collected at initial assessment.ConclusionThe LMIC-PRIEST score shows good discrimination and high sensitivity at lower thresholds and can be used to rapidly identify low-risk patients in LMIC ED settings.

As of August 8, 2021, South Africa had administered a total of close to 8.6 million doses of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. The country faced a rough start to its vaccination program as health authorities claimed that the beta variant (B.1.351 or 501Y.V2) was resistant against the received AstraZeneca/Oxford immunizing. South Africa then started February 17 its phase one campaign, vaccinating health workers with Johnson and Johnson vaccines. Gauteng, the province with Johannesburg as capital, had the highest number of vaccinated individuals at 2.12 million. It is also the region with the highest number of registered cases in the country. KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape followed with 1.62 million and 1.33 million people that have taken the jabs. In all nine provinces, the number of females vaccinated was higher than that of males.

As of November 22, 2021, nearly 41 percent of the adult population in South Africa had already been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus (COVID-19). Western Cape had the highest vaccination rate among South African provinces, with 48.9 percent of its adult population being fully immunized. On the other hand, vaccination efforts in Gauteng were slower - around 37.4 percent of the population received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine or one dose of the J&J vaccine.
