At the same time, authorities are considering harsher restrictions.
Gauteng premier David Makhura said he’s extremely worried about the increasing number of COVID-19 infections in the province.
He has urged residents to change their behaviour if they want to limit the impact of the third wave.
Gauteng accounts for a large majority of the recent COVID-19 infections and public and private hospitals are facing an increasing demand for beds.
The provincial coronavirus command council is set to meet on Tuesday where further restrictions will be discussed.
