Zain Soosiwala, spokesperson for community-based group Ethekwini Secure, told SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE on Monday that there were flats and homes in the suburb where residents had contracted the virus.
Soosiwala appealed for calm after the circulation of a message on social media, which named certain flats and businesses that purportedly had positive cases.Soosiwala said Felix Dlamini Road, a bustling residential and business street, remained a “hotspot” and he cautioned residents to take “all necessary precautions”.
“People in this area don't seem to be taking this virus seriously. Many are putting others in neighbouring suburbs like Musgrave at risk because they commute between the two areas.”
