Because the current outbreak in South Africa is growing at an uncontrollable rate, with a high mortality rate, and because the country is struggling to cope with the pressures of shutdowns.
The global epidemic is not under complete control, with new cases in many countries still growing exponentially. The World Health Organization has previously said that the rate of growth of the epidemic in African countries is worrying. Currently the epidemic in South Africa is more serious, continuous growth, at the same time because of the epidemic caused by the death rate is super high, coupled with South Africa can not afford a long time stopping work and production, so South Africa's pressure is the most.
I. The number of confirmed cases is growing too fast and the mortality rate is high.
The number of confirmed cases in South Africa is the most serious in Africa, South Africa's current number of confirmed cases ranked fifth in the world, and the daily growth of tens of thousands of people, at this rate of growth, the epidemic want to control must have a very strong economic strength to support. But many countries in Africa do not have such strength, and the backwardness of the epidemic prevention makes the epidemic to the direction of uncontrollable development.
Two, medical facilities can not keep up, the poor people live in crowded, the epidemic is difficult to control.South Africa's medical facilities have not been able to keep up with the number of people being diagnosed as the epidemic grows. South Africa's health department has said that despite the increase in the number of beds for the epidemic, there is still a gap of several tens of thousands of beds and medical staff, because the number of ventilators is limited, some seriously ill patients were forced to get off the ventilator, replaced by a large number of oxygen inhalation. The poor are living in very crowded conditions, and the lack of attention to the epidemic has led to clustered outbreaks from time to time.
Thirdly, the stress caused by the shutdown of work and production is not affordable.At the beginning of the epidemic, in order to resist the epidemic, South Africa has had a period of stoppage of production, but after the stoppage of production found that the country's economy is rapidly declining, stoppage of production has a great impact on people's lives, so they had to return to work, but after the resumption of work, the epidemic broke out again. Can not stop work, but the epidemic is getting more and more serious, so this country is not easy to prevent the epidemic, facing a lot of pressure.
