With Christmas and the New Year on our doorstep the Western Cape Government has adopted a three-pronged approach to help contain the Covid-19 resurgence in the province, said Premier Alan Winde.

According to him this includes a continuation of its health response to ensure that every person gets care when they need it; a campaign to help change behaviour to prevent new infections; and increased enforcement of existing Level 1 regulations that will ensure the compliance needed to contain the virus.

“Together these three pillars are the best way to roll back the resurgence, while keeping our economy as open as possible. This is how we intend to save both lives and livelihoods,” said Winde.
