The NICD has advised that clinicians should be on high alert, as the opening of schools may lead to localised measles outbreaks.
The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) and the national health department are anticipating a nationwide outbreak of measles when schools reopen for the 2023 academic year.
The NICD last week declared a measles outbreak in South Africa after at least 200 cases were reported.
The National Institute for Communicable Diseases says the measles outbreak has spread to at least 5 provinces.
Since October, experts have been tracking a measles outbreak that has infected more than 200 people so far.
