Two Cape Town police community service centers have been temporarily relocated following the Covid-19 cases.
Police spokeswoman Brigadier Novela Potelwa confirmed that the Philippi East and Cape Town Central police stations have been temporarily relocated for a period of 48 hours to allow for decontamination.
The Philippi East branch will operate from Vuyiseka High School, across the road from the police station, while Cape Town Central has moved to the Cape Town group offices at the rear of the station.
“These contingencies have been in place to allow the facility decontamination process to take place, in accordance with Covid-19 protocols,” said Potelwa.
“This is also to ensure that service delivery continues unhindered. SAPS officials, who have been in contact with infected members, undergo the necessary tests and trials.”
On Saturday, News24 reported that the Belhar police station in Cape Town had closed and its officers moved to a local community room following a “Covid-19 related case” at the station.
A similar process was also being carried out for the Public Order Surveillance Unit, with the decontamination of the building and the scrutiny, testing, and quarantine of the officers.
