We have seen quite a decline in the numbers of imported infections. Now we are seeing more of local transmissions.” “The areas that we are fearful of are those highly densely populated areas like your informal settlements, Diepsloot, Alexandra and all the other areas like that.” The interesting aspect about our health workers who have been infected they have not got the infection through where they work most of them they have actually got the infections in their social circles outside the health facilities.
