Im up the road here in Somerset West
My Aunt lives in Strand which is next door
She is in her early 60s and has been a nurse all her life

She helps run the 'Covid Ward' here and told me 2 weeks ago they are sending Cleaners in there once a week to clean out any dust and change the linen.

There are literally Zero cases in the Helderberg (that need ICU help if I can put it that way to keep terms simple here) and there hasn't been any 'bad' cases for a long time.

To be honest, I don't think anyone around me has this virus at the moment. According to the stats I saw the other day on a government website https://sacoronavirus.co.za there are about 27000 active cases in RSA. I wish I could figure out what percentage that is of the entire population of this country. It must be tiny. And that was over a week the last time I checked there

I got a notification on the Covid app that I’d been close to someone last Saturday who was diagnosed this week.

I don’t know what to do with this information.

Might have been a good idea a year ago. It wasn't. Bluetooth range is too large to be useful.

Take extra precautions to prevent spreading it in case you got infected, for a while.

If you want, go have a test. 7 days is enough incubation for it to show up.

But yeah, that notification is a bit late hey

The National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) has been advised, by the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC), to put the country under an Alert Level 2 lockdown as a precaution for the Easter holidays, News24 understands.

Scientists and government officials have long warned of a third wave of coronavirus infections, possibly soon after the long Easter weekend.

But Cabinet ministers who are part of the NCCC are lobbying for large church gatherings to be allowed over Easter because "churches have been behaving".

According to the MAC advisory dated last week, sources said, the NCCC was advised to restrict gatherings to 50, impose a 22:00 curfew and restrict the sale of alcohol from Mondays to Thursdays, from 10:00 to 18:00.

The NCCC was also advised to close big beaches and restrict interprovincial travel to avoid super-spreader events, which are expected over Easter.

BREAKING | Ramaphosa to address the nation at 19:00

President Cyril Ramaphosa is due to address the nation on adjustments made to the Covid-19 lockdown.

This comes after meetings with the government's Covid-19 command council.

The address comes as the country heads into the Easter period, with many long weekends and public holidays also on the horizon.

Provinces are already on high alert, having warned of a potential uptick in infections as people move provinces, attend large religious gatherings and mingle socially. Fears of a third Covid-19 wave are also rife, especially with the winter months drawing near.
