In the published article, Shonhiwa AM, Ntshoe G, Crisp N, et al. Investigation of two suspected diarrhoeal-illness outbreaks in Northern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, South Africa, April–July 2013: The role of rotavirus. S Afr J Infect Dis. 2020;35(1),a159. https://doi.org/10.4102/sajid.v35i1.159, there was an error in the spelling of the last authors name, instead of Nicole A. Page it should read Nicola Page. There was also and error in the labelling in Figure 3.

The age group for under 1 year cases is wrongly labelled in the final published article.

Instead of:

1 and younger

FIGURE 3: Diarrhoeal cases distribution per age groups in years, 09 April–09 July 2013, ZF Mgcawu District Municipality, Northern Cape province.

It should be:

< 1.
