The Government Communications and Information System in Nelson Mandela Bay is conducting a Covid-19 awareness campaign targeting Kariega this week. 

The GCIS campaign is being held in partnership with the health department and other stakeholders.

GCIS provincial manager Ndlelantle Pinyana said the team would conduct a loud-hailing campaign followed by an education activation in Tamboville, starting at 10am on Wednesday. 

“Kariega is leading in the metro with high Covid-19 numbers,” Pinyana said.

“This grows concerns and calls for more interventions, a hands-on-deck approach from all Nelson Mandela Bay departments and residents to fight Covid-19 to avoid more fatalities.”

Pinyana reminded people to continue wearing their masks, social distance, and wash and sanitise their hands regularly.

Meanwhile, the municipality will continue with Covid-19 testing around the Bay:
