The MMC for Economic Development in the City of Johannesburg, Councilor Lloyd Phillips, is on an outreach program in Ivory Park 3 (Kopanong Shopping Centre) to check the township’s state of readiness for covid-19. Officials from the City of Johannesburg are providing hand sanitizers and educating residents about the Coronavirus.
“The City’s approach is to prevent, contain and manage the spread of the COVID-19 through efficient and equitable deployment of resources to regions and the most vulnerable areas, particularly areas of high volumes in human traffic and informal and densely populated settlements.” read the recent statement by the Coj Executive Mayor, Geoff Makhubo.
“We encourage residents to be responsible, resilient and to not undermine the potential impact a widespread and rapid infection rate of the virus could have on the residents of the City and our economy. We must, immediately and without second-thoughts, amend our daily routines, forego unnecessary travel, avoid restaurants and other places of entertainment, take due care for our personal hygiene and be vigilant to signs of infection and symptoms” said Mayor Makhubo.
Residents are reminded to stay at home during the national lockdown from tomorrow, 27 March 2020 until 16 April 2020. Continue washing hands with soap and practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus.
