Briefing the media on Friday on government's response to the crisis, Phaahla said the country's Covid-19 figures are still fluctuating.
"Positivity rate of 23% yesterday and the overall daily infections yesterday of just over 14 000 from the low of just under 7 000.
"So it's fluctuating depending on the time of the week and the number of test which are being done."
