He said Durban Central police are continuing to do roadblocks to check the compliance of curfew regulations in order to curb the spread of Covid. “The members are also doing patrols to eradicate any criminal elements in Durban. There have been more than 10 people who were charged in Durban for either failing to wear masks when ordered by police officers, and some for failing to be confined to a residential place without permission,” he said.
