Unallocated cases in the district

 Unallocated cases in the district breakdown refer to confirmed cases in Gauteng, that are yet to be allocated to one of the five districts in the province.  The unallocated cases reflected in the sub-district breakdown refer to cases confirmed in that district but have not been allocated to a subdistrict.

Data Harmonization

Allocating Gauteng cases to respective districts is ongoing. After obtaining further information on contact numbers and addresses from law enforcement agencies, provincial outbreak teams and the National Institute of Communicable Disease (NICD), we are able to make corrections where a case might have been incorrectly allocated to a particular district.
