The past three months have seen South Africa's number of active cases of COVID-19 drop by almost 90 percent.

The National Institute for Communicable Diseases reports the country is currently dealing with just over 26,000 cases of the coronavirus.

This was a far cry from the almost 240,000 active cases reported on 11 January during the peak of South Africa's second wave.

As it stands, KwaZulu-Natal was dealing with the most active cases – at 7 574, followed by the Western Cape and Free State respectively.

Meanwhile, the vaccine campaign has so far inoculated 154, 215 healthcare workers across the country.
