In a statement on Thursday, Nawa said the call to be extra cautious came on the back of the increasing number of Covid-19 cases among residents and staff in Tshwane, which is expected to peak alongside the rest of the country. It was previously reported the City’s head office, Tshwane House, Mini Munitoria in Mamelodi West and the Silverton fire station were temporarily closed after staff members tested positive for the virus.

To date, 889 cases were recorded in District 4, which comprises Lyttleton, Eldoraigne, Waterkloof, Olievenhoutbosch, Rooihuiskraal, Silverton, Centurion, Brooklyn and Hatfield. “We wish to implore everyone staying, working and doing business in the city to continue to wear a face mask at all times, keep to the required physical distancing, wash hands with a sanitiser with an alcohol content of 60% and above, and wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
