“We would also like to thank The Westriding Community for donating four 5L hand-sanitisers to the station. The masks are currently on order,” she said. 

“It is extremely essential that we all take this virus seriously,” emphasised Captain Smith.

“There are still people going about their normal days work and shopping for non-essential items. This virus is spreading quickly and deaths have now been recorded in KZN. We are urging the community to adhere to the Presidential instruction of lockdown and stay at home,” she said.
