The Western Cape Disaster Management Centre continues to oversee provincial wide Covid-19 enforcement actions in efforts to control the spread of the Coronavirus.
The Overberg district has been doing Blitz visits to key roadside stops along the N2 as well as a roadblock on the N2 at Grabouw. In Beaufort-West, another critical entry and exit point to the Western Cape, a roadblock was initiated from the early hours of the morning.
The Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Anton Bredell, says stakeholders including officials from the Department of Health and Labour are working closely with the South African Police and municipal law enforcement to drive enforcement of existing Covid regulations.
“We are doing everything we can to keep the spread of the virus down. We must ask that the public work with us. Please act responsibly and continue to implement all the Covid-19 safety measures including wearing of masks.”
