City of Joburg rolls out mass Covid-19 testing drive

Clinics in the City of Johannesburg’s Region B will be carrying out voluntary Covid-19 testing on Tuesday, reports Northcliff Melville Times.

The mass testing drive by the City’s health department is targeting people with Covid-19 and flu symptoms, those 60 years and older, and persons with co-morbid chronic conditions.

Those that fit the testing criteria are encouraged to visit one of the region’s clinics with their identity document.

In a statement on Monday, the department said since embarking on its testing campaign at the beginning of April, about 8% of the province’s population has been screened for the virus.

Of that, 13,558 people have been tested for Covid-19.
