Good - but not good enough. Inter-provincial travel within SA should be banned, as I said above.

And what's the point of limiting a gathering to 100 people? So if it's only 50 people that's safe??
 
ALERT!

How disgusting is this!!!

They will always find something.

Just use common sense. There is not enough resources or skilled medical staff in the world to do door-to-door testing.

Just give a huge cough without covering and say you've already been tested positive. And see how fast they run.

Shout out from Makro to customers

Makro has various measures in place to maintain a clean and healthy environment in our stores, and we have ramped these up even further. For example, we are:
    • Augmenting the number of cleaning staff in our stores to increase the frequency with which we wipe-down high touch point surfaces and shopping trolleys;
    • Providing hand sanitisers at store entrances, high touch point areas and at customer check-out; and
    • Intensifying staff awareness of personal preventative measures to protect their and your health.

Furthermore, from Tuesday, March 17th, our customers will not be required to present a Makro card in our stores. If this is your preference then please just communicate it to your cashier.

In addition, we are dedicated to keeping our stores stocked and prices fair. We are working especially hard to replenish hand sanitisers, cleaning supplies, paper products, and other in-demand items as quickly as possible and at our everyday low prices. We are working equally hard to secure sanitising and cleaning supplies for our own use in our stores.

Hi all

just would like to say. Mass buying is silly don’t over buy, think of the next person. Some of us can, but there are people that work on weekly income, those are the people that will suffer if we go out and buy everything.
Remember this is the time as a country we need to look after each other. As a suggestion, double up on your groceries etc. buying 40 bails of toilet paper is not going to save you.
Buying more, means prices go up. You are South Africans, we are a community, If we all work together and be more civil, we can stop the spread. What comes around, go’s around. Well that’s my opinion. If you got something bad to say or have snotty comments, rather keep it to yourself.
Thank you

@JPDrag&Drop You don't need to worry about peeps having "something bad to say or have snotty comments". That seldom happens here. This is the ecigssa forum, not FB. Here there might be disagreement, but not bullying! On FB one can get stoned to death simply for having an opinion contrary to the other people's. I know. Happened to me a few times and again last night.

But here, on this forum, we're adults and if we disagree, we do so in an adult way. So ... relax, this is a happy place :)

The popular Tokara Wine and Olive Estate in Stellenbosch has announced that it will be closing its doors until March 24... A group of wine enthusiasts from the Netherlands visited us on March 9 in the evening for a private function while all of our departments were closed to the general public,” Tokara said in a statement. “One of the members of that group has since tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. Two members of our marketing team and the restaurant staff on duty that evening were in contact with this group and as such, we have implemented self-isolation and testing for these staff members.”

Almenkerk Wine Estate in Elgin was contacted by a visitor who informed them that he had tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. “The visitor was part of a group of 38 wine professionals from the Netherlands that visited us on March 10. We are not showing any symptoms, but we need to work on the assumption that we may be carriers and thus need to inform you of the potential risk, should you have visited or interacted with us subsequently,” the estate said in a statement.

Anthonij Rupert Wyne and the L’Ormarins Estate have also decided to restrict all visitors to the Estates. “Anthonij Rupert Estate, having operated by appointment for some time, will be reimbursing all guest bookings with prior paid reservations for the next 30 days in full. No guests will be received on the Estate from Monday, March 16, 2020 until Wednesday, April 15, 2020.

SARS CoV-2 (Corona) virus? Is this one of those publications whom research their articles on FaceBook?

Regards

The Disease is called Covid-19 (corona virus disease)
The virus is called SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2)

Just like HIV/AIDS.
