According to the Department of Health, Aerorand, Gholfsig, Clubville, the CBD, Extension 3, 5 and 6 in Mhluzi, Extension 24, including Nasaret and Hlalamnandi, Tokologo, Doornkop and several communal complexes in Middelburg have already been screened for signs of Covid-19 infections.<\/p>\n
The eight teams will focus on Matatiele, Chromeville, Extension 18, Mineralia and Kanonkop during the entire week.<\/p>\n
Spokesman Mr Christopher Nemvele says the department is presently conducting home-to-home screenings in all districts of Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n
In Middelburg the screening has not identified anyone with Covid-19. With a soft lift on lockdown regulations after April 30, Mr Nemvele says positive cases are expected to climb.<\/p>\n
Mpumalanga\u2019s infection numbers are stagnant, with only 23 confirmed cases so far.<\/p>\n
Mr Nemvele says the department is busy compiling statistics on how many homes in the Nkangala region have been screened, but the information will only be available later this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cOngoing screening makes it difficult to accurately compile exact statistics, and screening is set to continue,\u201d Mr Nemvele said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
