It is going to be a summer holiday with a difference. That was the message on Thursday from Western Cape premier Alan Winde as tourist hotspots experience a second wave of Covid-19 infections.

Winde said while there is no need to cancel holiday plans yet, people travelling to Covid-19 hotspots should be extra careful and have a “common-sense holiday”.

He urged holiday makers to be part of the solution to the pandemic instead of adding to the problem, saying they should spend as much time as possible outdoors. “You are going to have a holiday. You're going to relax, you're going to make sure that you do that in the open. You're going to make sure that you do not add to the problem,” Winde said at his weekly Covid-19 media conference.

“We all know what to do. So you can still carry on with your holiday plans. But just make sure that this holiday is going to be a holiday with a difference. You're going to be wearing your mask. The ball is going to be in your court to make sure that we don't expand the problem.”
