The traffic department at the Rustenburg municipality in North West has been closed after another officer tested positive for Covid-19, the council said.

Council spokesman David Magae said the licensing and testing stations had been closed since Monday to allow other employees to also get tested for the coronavirus after the last case was confirmed.

"Additionally, the directorate has been assisting the department with all the relevant information in respect of contact tracing in line with the Covid-19 protocols." The traffic department was previously closed on June 11 after a traffic officer tested positive for Covid-19. The seat of the municipality, Missionary Mpheni House was also closed on June 18 for disinfection, and reopened on Monday.
