Hotspot alert issued for the Garden Route
The Western Cape Government has issued an urgent hotspot alert for the Garden Route, due to the rapidly increasing number of Covid-19 cases in that area. This spike is mainly contributing to the notable growth of active cases in the Western Cape.
Specifically, we are concerned about the increasing number of cases in George, Knysna and Bitou. George, which currently has 628 active cases, has the highest number of active cases in the province.
Over the weekend, we saw:
- 160 new cases in George
- 145 new cases in Knysna/Bitou
- 41 new cases in Mossel Bay
- 7 new cases in Hessequa
Along with the increasing number of cases in the region, we are also seeing the number of hospitalisations increase. Our hospitals still have sufficient capacity to cope with the surge in cases, however, we must all be taking responsibility to ensure that we are able to contain the further spread of the virus.
The hotspot team for the Garden Route has increased surveillance, through screening and testing. We are also working closely with the municipalities, environmental health teams, and stakeholders in the region to manage and contain the spread. This includes a concerted communications campaign in the area. We are also paying special attention to vulnerable groups, including old age homes.
We need every single resident of the Garden Route and visitors to the region to help us stop this surge by:
- Wearing your mask at all times when out in public places
- Avoiding gatherings
- Avoiding crowded places, especially when there is poor ventilation
- Staying at least 1.5 metre apart
- Washing your hands with soap and water regularly
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.
We will only be able to bring this situation under control if everyone takes responsibility now.
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.
Let's stay safe and keep moving forward.

Das Oberlandesgericht in Münster hat heute einem Kläger aus Bielefeld Recht gegeben, der gegen die Qurantäne nach der Rückkehr geklagt hat.Er ist auf Teneriffa und fliegt am 22.11. nach Hause.
Teneriffa hat weit weniger Infektionen als Bielefeld .Daher hat das Gericht seine Klage anerkannt. Sehr interessant für Südafrika, wo die Infektionen mit etwa 2000 täglich wesentlich unter Deutschland liegen.

Ich dachte die Kanaren gelten generell nicht als Risiko-Gebiet und sind somit ganz normal zu bereisen? Mein Stand ist, dass man bei Anreise nur einen maximal 72 Stunden alten und negativen PCR-Test vorlegen muss. Die Quarantäne-Pflicht bei der Heimkehr betrifft nach meinem Wissen nur den ganzen Rest Spaniens.

This evening we wish to announce that as South Africa we are now experiencing a second wave. A criteria was formulated by our scientists and modeling teams. As it stands as a country we now meet that criteria. It is also important to highlight that four provinces, that being, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng Province are the key drivers of this new wave.
To break it down: The majority of new cases today are from WC (30%) followed by EC (24%) then KZN which accounted for 23%; and GP accounted for 17%. The Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West each accounted for 1% of new cases respectively while Northern Cape accounted for less than 1%
It is important as well to highlight that today we have breached 6000 in terms of new cases and the total new cases today identified is 6 709 thus giving us a total of 828 598 cumulative cases today.

With the full resumption of international travel, the national Department of Health has increased efforts to strengthen active screening and surveillance at ports of entry in South Africa. The department is launching a pilot project for the COVID SA travel system, which is a digital screening solution, that allows travellers to complete the required travel health questionnaire (THQ) on their personal devices ahead of their arrival at the ports of entry.
The Department is intending to make a move from paper-based screening systems to a digitized screening solution in a phased approach. The web-based THQ platform will complement and strengthen the existing method of screening and surveillance at ports of entry, as a user-friendly tool allowing travellers to complete the travel health questionnaire on their personal devices prior to their travel.
The web-based travel screening solution will allow travellers to complete their travel and symptomatic information at any time from 2 days ahead of their journey to ensure that the exposure and symptoms information provided is relevant. Once completed, the traveller will receive a unique number (look-up ID) which they will present to the Port Health official at the respective port of entry to proceed with the screening process. Over time, as more travellers use this system it can save them time and help fast-track screening at ports of entry.
The department will introduce through a pilot, a digitized screening system for international travellers arriving and departing from South Africa. As of the 17th of December 2020, international travellers arriving at O.R Tambo International Airport, those departing from Cape Town International Airport, those entering the country through Beit Bridge land border and those exiting through Maseru Bridge land border will be expected to complete the web-based THQ. The paper-based system for COVID-19 screening will continue to be in operation at all other operational ports of entry.
This system will play a critical role in assisting Port Health with managing travellers, identifying potential high-risk travellers and to respond effectively.
Security of personal information was one of the top priorities throughout the development of this system. Accordingly, best practice guidelines as per the POPI Act are followed to protect all traveller’s personal information at all times.
The COVID SA travel system provides us with additional armour to better manage and survey travellers to prevent importation and exporting of the virus. The system will also provide better data collection and storage which can be helpful with identifying potential high-risk travellers. An algorithm that helps determine the risk profile of travellers is embedded in the system. In the event of a positive case, the system will assist with identifying potentially exposed travellers who were in proximity to the positive case, further assisting with better contact tracing.
The COVID SA travel system will be live from noon on 15 December 2020 to allow travellers to complete the web-based form ahead of their travel and can be accessed using this link: (Der Link ist für Gäste ausgeblendet. Um ihn zu sehen, bitte registrieren!) . Travellers who have already booked their tickets can still access the web-based THQ at any time after the system goes live.
Travellers will still be subjected to the screening protocols in ports of entry, including temperature screening and are still required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result obtained not more than 72 hours from time of departure.
Travellers arriving into South Africa are required to download the COVID Alert SA application on their mobile phones.
