JOHANNESBURG—South Africa has announced nearly 5,000 new CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases for a new daily record.
The country has recorded a total of 92,000 confirmed cases as of Saturday, which is about 30 percent of all cases across the African continent. More than half of South Africa’s cases are in Western Cape province and centered on the city of Cape Town.
