Durban: An increase in roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints, and people movement controls in high commuter areas – these are the three ways Prime Minister KwaZulu-Natal plans to step up closure efforts in the province, particularly eThekwini, which has been declared the province’s epicenter the coronavirus.
During a press conference on Sunday, Zikalala said that because eThekwini is the main contributor to the Covid-19 cases in KZN, the P
The Rovincial Command Council has decided to implement an intensified blockade for the eThekwini District.
“We have issued a directive to our law enforcement authorities to enforce the law in its strictest form and to make sure there are no commitments. We want them to make sure that the violation of confinement by people who are supposed to be at home is complies with the concomitant punishment established by law. “
“
We want once again to plead with our people to stay home and respect the law. This is a health emergency. We are in disaster mode. It is not a business as always. It is a mantra that we must recite every morning, if that is what is needed, “said Zikalala.
He said there will be door-to-door sweeps, the re
transferring infectious sources to specific isolation sites, creating
test and screening booths in high movement areas such as m
alls, transport routes / taxi ranks, advertisement
justification and intensification of community containment interventions, and the launch of a sanitation program in informal settlements.
“At eThekwini, we will be working with SAPS, Metro Police, the South African National Defense Force, the D
transportation department and the
Health Department.
During the mass exam, e
escort teams will escort health officials to perform screening tests and safeguard officials l
blocking critical points to ensure thorough evaluation and testing, “said Zikalala.
