“The Provincial Command Council today piloted the community-based testing and screening programme in Alexandra township. This follows directives by President Cyril Ramaphosa to deploy 10,000 field workers to visit villages, towns and cities to screen residents for Covid-19 symptoms. “The programme will be done in a systematic manner, focusing on areas with the largest numbers of contacts, as well as on densely populated areas.”
