Dr Tlale also said Kanye had so far recorded a total of seven cases, with six of them being contacts of one of the Jwaneng cases.

He said that majority of the cases were males, adding that half of the cases were from the community.

He said the first two cases in Jwaneng came from Gaborone during the lockdown period and that case number three was a parent of a student from Gaborone who later infected five of her colleagues at work.

He said that the other cases were linked to the first and third cases through visits to public places and social events.

Dr Tlale said that based on the above history, the conclusion was that there was local transmission in the Jwaneng area.
