Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As only new cases were being reported to the health department, the media could only report the ongoing incidence rate, that is, the number of new cases reported each day.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Learners must be involved in determining their own health education needs and priorities. Both the formal and informal leadership would have useful information to share, but the crucial component is input from the target group.
