We advise people to read the regulation thoroughly to study the regulations so that they understand what is expected of them.

The Department of Health in the province is appealing to all citizens to adhere to the lockdown gathering regulation, particularly when attending funerals.Health Spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo says the department understands that social distancing is compromised at such events.“We, therefore, appeal to those people to immediately contact our toll free number 08000 323 64 as and when they develop flu-like symptoms. The number again is 080032364.

He says others were arrested for not complying with the limited number of people permitted to attend funerals, operating businesses and moving from one province to the other. “So far in the province we have a total of of 3863. The majority of our arrests are people who have been issued with fines and these total is 2 543 and those fines are only for the violation of COVID-19 regulations and it brings the total of the arrests including the fines that have been made in the whole province to 3 863.”

Very good. How do you party when you are supposed to quarantine? Even schools are closed and many activities are halted. Let army and police do their work. I am yet to see complete lock-down more especially in townships. Let us please be scared of this pandemic.

Eish free bed and breakfast, boarding and lodging, and a ride to the jailcellmotel.

Lock them up and throw away the keys.
