The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the West Rand is at 63 616 with 61 169 recoveries and 1 746 deaths. This translates to a total of 701 active cases.
A total of 8 399 411 Covid-19 vaccinations have been administered in the Gauteng Province as of February 2. The total number of individuals fully vaccinated is 4 366 991.

All persons older than 12 years old are encouraged to visit their nearest vaccination site to receive the jab. It is thought that vaccinating 70% or more of the adult population can minimise the impact of the fourth wave. The Department of Health (DoH) further reminds the public that those who received a two-dose vaccine need to return for their second dose at 42 days. All Gauteng sites, both private and public, accept walk-ins whether people are registered on the EVDS or not.
