From the FamilyMeeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa: Nelson Mandela Bay declared Covid-19 hotspot, with additional restrictions; National State of Disaster extended to January 2021; R300 million towards the procurement of a vaccine

As expected, President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared Nelson Mandela Bay a Covid-19 hotspot and as such, he - in accordance to advice given by the National Coronavirus Commission Council - has imposed stricter lockdown restrictions on the metro after a resurgence in Covid-19 coronavirus cases over the past few weeks.

“There is now clear evidence of a resurgence of infections in parts of our country, which if not confronted decisively and directly could lead to great suffering and death.” As such, Ramaphosa announced that the most urgent task was “to contain the spread in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape". He added that several hospitals in Nelson Mandela Bay “have reported an increase in trauma cases related to alcohol”.

While allowing initiation school to commence with their activities in the Eastern and Western Cape, Ramaphosa said Nelson Mandela Bay could not go ahead with such practices for now as this could also lead to more infections.The Western Cape, while also experiencing high levels of new infections with 30% of all active case being located in the province, escaped being declared a hotspot for now.
