At present, the global epidemic has not been completely controlled, and the number of new cases in many countries is still multiplying. The World Health Organization has previously said that the growth rate of the epidemic in African countries is worrying. At present, the epidemic situation in South Africa is serious and is growing continuously. At the same time, because the mortality caused by the epidemic is extremely high, and South Africa cannot afford to stop production for a long time, the pressure on South Africa is the greatest.
First, the number of confirmed cases has increased too fast and the mortality rate is high. The number of confirmed cases in South Africa is the worst in Africa. At present, the number of confirmed cases in South Africa ranks fifth in the world, and it is increasing by tens of thousands every day. At this growth rate, if the epidemic is to be controlled, it must be supported by very strong economic strength. However, many countries in Africa do not have such strength, and the backwardness of epidemic prevention makes the epidemic situation develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Second, medical facilities can't keep up, the poor live in crowded places, and the epidemic is difficult to control. With the aggravation of the epidemic, the medical equipment in South Africa can't keep up with the speed of the number of people diagnosed. South Africa's health department has said that although many beds have been added to the epidemic, there are still tens of thousands of gaps in beds and medical staff. Due to the limited number of ventilators, some critically ill patients were forced to leave the ventilator and take a lot of oxygen instead. Poor people live in crowded places, and people don't pay attention to the epidemic, so cluster epidemics often occur.
Third, the pressure caused by shutdown is not within the tolerance range. At the beginning of the epidemic, in order to resist the epidemic, South Africa once stopped production for a period of time, but after stopping production, it was found that the national economy was rapidly declining, which had a great impact on people's lives, so it had to resume work, but the epidemic broke out again after the resumption of work. We can't stop work, but the epidemic situation is getting worse and worse, so epidemic prevention in this country is not easy and there is a lot of pressure.
