"The Western Cape government has issued an “urgent hotspot alert” after a rapid increase in the number of Covid-19 cases along the popular Garden Route...
“Specifically, we are concerned about the increasing number of cases in George, Knysna and Bitou,” said Winde [Western Cape Premier]. “George, which currently has 628 active cases, has the highest number of active cases in the province,” he added.
Over the past weekend, the province saw:
160 new cases in George 145 new cases in Knysna/Bitou;
41 new cases in Mossel Bay;
7 new cases in Hessequa
Due to the increasing number of positive cases, hospitalisations were also on the rise.
He asked residents and visitors of the Garden Route to continue following Covid-19 regulations such as the wearing of masks, maintaining a distance of 1.5m and avoiding gatherings.
“If you feel sick, stay at home and if you are experiencing symptoms, call the hotline on 080 928 4102 for directions and next steps.”
“On Thursday, my weekly digital press conference will specifically focus on the Garden Route and I will set out more details on our response plans for the district,” said Winde."

Alex Terblanche, head of Budget Business Insurance, recently noted that criminals in South Africa have locked on to a target following the popularity of online ordering in a post Covid-19 environment – couriers.
“We have noticed a spike in courier vehicle theft. In a few of these cases, the vehicles have been recovered but the goods are missing. The fact that the majority of these vans and vehicles are being taken by force or in armed robberies and hijackings is of great concern,” he said.
