Gauteng should release regional Covid-19 figures
8 April 2020
I support the call by the DA Shadow Minister of Health SiviweGwarube that all provinces should provide an accurate breakdown of Covid-19 cases and daily infections by regions.
It concerns me that no regional breakdown is given of the Covid-19 figures in Gauteng, but only the total for the entire province.
The worldwide trend is to provide detailed information but in South Africa only the Western Cape is regularly providing a breakdown of Covid-19 cases per region.
It is in the public interest to know where the outbreak is most severe, where it is declining and where it may be rising.
