Limpopo's health department said on Sunday that more than 2.7 million people had been screened for Covid-19 in the province.

The screening was done between April 14 and 24, provincial health MEC Phophi Ramathuba said in a statement.

“This constitutes over 50% of the entire population of the province,” she said. Of this 2,783 people were referred for testing and 1,770 were tested,” she added. “[He] is a 52-year-old male teacher from Greater Giyani in the Mopani district. He has a history of being admitted at a private facility in Gauteng and was discharged on the 6th of April,” said Ramathuba.

Those numbers are cooked, we all know its a lie.

I’m sorry, but the number of people being screened doesn’t say anything. The way they screened us was just bad, asking questions and asking for symptomatic people doesn’t mean that they have successfully controlled the situation in Limpopo. How is data determined?...

I don't agree with this stats.

To be honest this was disrespectful towards citizens if asking questions like 'Do you have any symptoms' is screening then close the country for good. How do you expect an 70 years old grandma suppose to know if she has symptoms?

Lol maybe it was a sample 😂

From 2 metres away? Can it be accurate?

“expired questions”. If you screen me on 26 April and ask if I’ve traveled out of the country in the last 14 days how’s that going to help? Have we not been in total lockdown for more than that? Most don’t even do temperatures. They were told to come back and report with numbers

Sorry please tell the truth... there werent screening we were asked questions at our homes then they left.. no temp check no nothing... then yall say 2 Million people got tested which 2 million are you talking about

Screening people instead of testing.......

2 million? Lies

Kukho nje into engaqondakaliyo apha.

They didn't come to my house but they were here in my village

Not true! They come for our details and demonstrated how to wash hands.!

Limpopo didn't screen, they only did the questionnaire part and left body temperature scans. So their stats is not telling the truth

M sure we just chasing numbers nothing else.

You mean interviewed akere

This is a joke. A whole province has had 30 cases. You go around asking the elderly if they had come accross an infected person. You dont have temperature readers and you call it screening. Give us a break. OtpLimpopo HealthLimpopo

Screening🙃

This system of testing only if you answer yes to some of the questions they ask during the screening process is failing us. The number of infections in the country will surge soon.

Screening you mean them telling us what we see on TV and social media about Covid-19, how he should maintain social distancing and watching our hands🤷‍♀️

The idea of screening is SA is just vibes

They jus take names

🤣🤣😂😂🤣 my mother coughed right in between the screening they did not bother on the cough or check ups yhu, limpopo people lied about symptoms

But they didn’t screen every house in our neighborhood

Limpopo population 5.4 mil and Health department says 2 mil screened. I think the stats adds that mass screening on N1 for people traveling to the province. I don't think is screening of permanent residents. Please rollout screening in the villages.

What is screening cause this government

Where in Limpopo vele...

Screening is just asking if you been overseas in the past 6 months

I wonder how many they tested

Limpopo has been doing well to control the spread of the virus but lawless people that sneak into the province are the ones that are making it difficult for this province.

How many tested?

Halledwito khuthadzom152 WisaniLB Fresherb mbteq that's my grandfather right there 🙂🙂🙂

Bull sh*t......

Remember they do not performer tests if there are no symptoms. After screening if temp above 38 then they recommend testing. Its better than nothing but then again 'you cant satisfyeveryone'. Most malls in PTA if temp is above 36.1, you are not allowed to enter the mall.

Blatant lie

Why have Lesotho screened more people than we have?

2 million people in Limpopo?

BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, HIS BLOOD NO ONE OF THOSE WILL DIE CORON19 WILL DIE INSTEAD PSALM 91

Like when they screened people at the airports.

If only we could put as much effort into actual testing...

What if about 1.5 million of them lied? We need testing not screening

Why report such useless data? How far does it take us in the fight against COVID-19?

screening without taking temperatures? unreliabledata. My family was screened in Polokwane by simply asked questions which can be fabricated.

Good progress!

I'm sorry to be honest with you guys but screening is not helping

We really not safe..

And bonke ba ryt 🧹

At least. We shall celebrate on target shots.

Limpopo MEC for Healthcare is active, informed, visible and very appropriate for the work at hand. Real Leadership!

We need 2 million tested people not screened

The data us becoming to make no sense at all

Screened is not the same as testing. Screening means checking temperatures and that's very unreliable

screen = not testing = 👇

Tests after death confirm ailing man in Limpopo had Covid-19Limpopo's health department said tests have confirmed that a man who died at a private medical practice was Covid-19 positive but did not appear to have known he had the virus. Covid19SA 🙆🙆🙆 How did he managed to reach Limpopo during the lockdown? The ignorance is so painful though, so someone is sick with probably Covid symptoms, they leave hospitals in WC & drive him all the way to Limpopo for a traditional healer? That son must also be charged.

Dlamini-Zuma faces challenge over threat to lock up infected peopleThe Legal Resources Centre, acting on behalf of the Poor Flat Dwellers Movement, has placed government on terms to immediately clarify comments by politicians that people will be detained for “lengthy periods” should they buck the law. The ANC's sounding more like the NP of old by the day. Pretty soon it will be 'Detention without trial'. Is that not exactly what is supposed to happen? Is there No way of controlling these harmful NGOs, who seem to be always scanning for opportunities to take government to court
