File picture.According to DA shadow minister of health, Siviwe Gwarube, only the Western Cape produced comprehensive profiling of infections.
Gwarube said the thin detail in reporting of Covid-19 cases, with the exception of the DA-governed Western Cape, could be inaccurate. “With the exception of the Western Cape department of health, we are yet to see a clear and accurate breakdown of Covid-19 cases and daily infections by regions in the other eight provinces, which can be done with geo-mapping technology.
“While certain information can be kept from the public due to clinical sensitivity, there is no reason other provinces cannot publicise this information, like the Western Cape does daily.
