The Free State Health Department has named the Thabo Mofutsanyana and Fezile Dabi districts as the two COVID-19 hotspots during the second wave of the pandemic.
Illegal cross-border movement between Lesotho and Thabo Mofutsanyana, as well as social interaction between communities in the Eastern Cape province and Xariep districts have also pushed up infections.
Thabo Mofutsanyana District has reached 12 684 infections. A major concern is that the area is densely populated with high poverty levels and inadequate access to amenities.
