It has been 76 days since we mobilized Namibia’s National Response to COVID-19, following confirmation of the Index Case on March 13, 2020. #COVID19 #NamLockdown #Stage3
Our country has to date recorded 22 confirmed cases, which have all been classified to be sporadic and travel related.
There has been up to this point, no incidence of community transmission in Namibia. Of the persons diagnosed with the #coronavirus, 14 have recovered and are reunited with their families.
Namibia sustained a 45-day period of zero new infections, until a rise in new infections which began on 20 May 2020. Since then, there have been six (6) new confirmed cases. #COVID19 #NamLockdown #Stage3
All the new cases have been placed into isolation facilities at /Kharas, Hardap and Erongo regions. The identification, contact tracing, testing and quarantine of exposed individuals, is ongoing.
Despite the measures that we have put in place, let us maintain the respect of human dignity and express compassion towards one another as Namibians. #COVID19 #NamLockdown #Stage3
I ask that our men and women in uniform who have done a sterling job during this difficult time, desist from using heavy-handedness in enforcing the Regulations. #COVID19 #NamLockdown #Stage3
Midnight on Monday 01st June 2020 all 14 regions, with the exception of the Walvis Bay Local Authority Area, will transit from STAGE 2 to more moderate precautions under STAGE 3, until 29 June 2020, for a period of 28 days or two incubation periods.
With the increase of the public gathering limit to 50 people under stage 3, we look forward to an increased presence of our church leaders, clergy and members of congregations in helping to bring the message of hope as well as much needed relief to the afflicted.
The public is urged to support Government action by not becoming complacent, but by complying with the Regulations and cooperating with authorities to safeguard the collective health of the Nation. #COVID19 #NamLockdown #Stage3
