Madam Speaker, I am glad Minister that we are exploring alternative means to be able to ramp up our tests over and above what we have targeted. And I agree with you that we have seen a steady increase but experts in the field, Minister, including the World Health Organization, WHO, has made it clear that testing, tracking and tracing is a crucial element to the fight against Covid-19. Delays in obtaining tests results hampers the health system's ability to be able to track, trace and isolate those who need it and to help those who need medical attention quite quickly.
As you know, a typical example of somebody who test for Covid-
19 and lives in a house where it is impossible to isolate, if it takes that person a week to get their test results back, it means that they could very well be infecting others during that period. Considering that there are international challenges which we have referred to, which are over and above what you are able to do, it means that we have to think and be very careful about what cluster outbreaks have been doing in this country. We saw right at the beginning of this outbreak what happened in the Free State. On what health basis was the resumption of the religious gatherings made, considering what we know about cluster outbreaks and what they can do?
