By late Sunday, the number of infections in the district stood at 147 out of a total of 866 in the entire province.

There has been yet another “cluster outbreak” of Covid-19 cases in Limpopo, with the Mopani district now identified as the new epicentre of the pandemic in the province.

Ramathuba said an epicentre was determined by the increment of infection numbers and the slow recovery rate among patients. “But what is concerning is that other miners are residing at different places within communities. This tells us that there could be a lot of [Covid-19] spread in the communities,” Ramathuba said.
