Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Monday it was evident there was cross-border transmission of Covid-19 between the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape, and this had to be handled holistically.
"The trade routes and the seasonal workers are something we have to take into account as we manage the containment of the infections," he said.
Mkhize also gave a breakdown of tests done at public and and private facilities.
