South Africa is one of the hardest-hit countries in Africa with over 740,000 infections.
The country recorded 60 more virus-related deaths on Wednesday, bringing the death toll to 20,011.
A day after being declared Guinea's president for a controversial third term by the constitutional court, incumbent Alpha Conde staged an hour-long walkabout in Conakry on Sunday
But the 82-year-old did so with bodyguards surrounding him after his main opponent Cellou Dalein Diallo called for resistance \"by all legal means\".
The scenes of jubilation during his hour walk in the capital are a far cry from the deadly clashes seen after he pushed through changes to the constitution that allowed him to run again.
Guinean people who decide
With 59.5 percent of the votes cast, Conde's support surpassed the absolute majority needed to win in the first round, judges found, throwing out challenges to the October 18 ballot from figures that include his main opponent.
\"Despite all the threats, despite everything, the people of Guinea mobilized massively, especially women and young people voted massively,\" Conde said.
\"Since 1958, the people have shown that in Guinea it is the Guinean people who decide, and no one else.\"
Conde also pledged to take a look at outstanding issues between Guinea and France, the ex-colonial power, again without providing details.
After months of violent confrontation and a bitter campaign, he insisted the time had come to \"reach out\" to opponents and improve the daily lives of the country's inhabitants.
Violence and deadly clashes
Guinea is one of the poorest countries in the world and has seen frequent bouts of political violence.
Its politics are mainly drawn along ethnic lines: the president's base is among the ethnic Malinke community, while Diallo has strong backing among the Fulani people.
The official count from the Ceni national election commission gave Diallo 33.5 percent.
But the 68-year-old insists that data his activists gathered at polling stations shows he won the vote and is the victim of fraud.
While observers from other African countries have backed the official results, France, the European Union and United States have cast doubt on them.
Diallo accused judges of \"putting themselves at the service of a man and his ambitions, rather than upholding their oath\".
There is no way for Conde's opponents to appeal the constitutional court decision, leaving the path clear for the president to begin a new six-year term -- with the option for a second under a new constitution introduced in March.
Clashes between security forces and Diallo supporters after the election again proved deadly, with the opposition saying 46 people were killed in a \"wave of terror\" while the government put the toll at 21, including some gendarmes.
Diallo's UFDG party has published a list of names of the dead, including photographs of their corpses, matching its higher count, which comes on top of 90 people it says had already been killed since October last year.
Amnesty International has accused Guinean security forces of firing live rounds at protesters in the post-election unrest.

The Bids Keep Rolling In
On Tuesday, South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe and Mauritanian Ahmed Yahya were the last to declare themselves candidates for the presidency of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) before the November 12 deadline. These candidacy bids come in addition to that of Ivorian Jacques Anouma and Malagasy Ahmad Ahmad — the current president who is seeking a second term in office despite accusations of corruption and harassment.
Brother-in-law of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Motsepe owns the Mamelodi Sundowns of Pretoria, one of the 10 best African teams in recent years.
The President of the Mauritanian Federation, Yahya- whose presence at the head has seen Mauritania go from 183rd to 98th place in FIFA's placement, is the founder of FC Nouadhibou, one of the most successful clubs in West Africa and is also a member of the CAF Executive Committee since 2017.
The elections for the supreme body of African football will be held on March 12.

Over 500 million dollars is likely to be pledged Thursday for a device to ensure that all countries have equitable access to covid-19 tests, treatments and vaccines.
That's according to organizers of the Paris Peace Forum at the Elysee palace Thursday.
Several world leaders, including French president Emmanuel Macron, Senegalese Macky Sall and Canada's Justin Trudeau are attending the two day event which ends Friday.
The leaders called for universal access to future covid-19 vaccines and treatments.
Macron said \"We will not win against the virus by abandoning a part of humanity.\"
He recalled the launch of the \"ACT Accelerator\" with the WHO, the G20 and NGO’s such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as the international Covax vaccine procurement and distribution system.
\"But how can we be sure that everyone is playing the game, that there will be no stowaway behavior and that enough doses will be produced for the poorest countries, who need them the most? Otherwise it would further reinforce inequalities\", the French president queried.
The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also agreed.\"The international community must ensure that fair and equitable access will be guaranteed to provide everyone with a vaccine,\" he said.
Senegalese President Macky Sall also spoke of a \"necessary solidarity between states\" in the face of \" a common pandemic\".
Other international leaders, such as Secretary General of the Francophonie, Rwanda’s Louise Mushikiwabo, have also supported this willingness to make the vaccine a common good.
\"As the race for the Covid-19 vaccine continues, I join the call to make it a global public good, accessible to all, without any restrictions,\" she said.
