From the article:

Leading South African scientists have told Sky News that SA may have inadvertently established herd immunity to Covid-19 during its super strict, but perhaps inadequate, Lockdown Level 5. 

 

This, they say, would help explain why South Africa’s high Covid-19 figures in June and July suddenly plummeted. At that point SA’s rate of infection had been so high that it featured in the Top 5 countries most hit by Covid in the world. And then the figures inexplicably dropped.

From the article:
"Many countries around the world are now facing the difficult decision of when and how to ease lockdown restrictions due to the novel coronavirus. In the absence of a vaccine, it is likely there will be new waves of the epidemic, unless enough people have been infected to achieve herd immunity (assuming those who have contracted the virus retain enough protection and the virus does not mutate into a distinct strain) – estimated to be around 60%.  

Unfortunately, government advisers in the UK, France and many other countries suggest only a few percent of the population have so far been infected. But does this add up?"
