THE crushing winter surge in Covid-19 cases is finally receding, with the country witnessing a 55 per cent drop in infections over the last two weeks.

However, as medics from the National Taskforce to Combat Covid-19 had indicated, cases hit a peak during the first week of this month, as it did globally, and then plateaued and started receding during the last five days.
