It's in the article in the form of a chart. But if you can't see because of the paywall, you can look up the same data on this page: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/mapping-s...

3 day average is only 48 deaths per day in all of South Africa. We are at the 3 week mark. If Omicron was half as deadly as Delta we'd be seeing a corresponding spike as we saw the initial burst of cases weeks ago. We're not, it's a slight uptick. Another week and we can be quite confident.
