COVID-19 RELEASE (29)

22nd April 

Sixty-two (62) arrests were made regarding COVID-19 restriction breaches with the Western Division recording twenty-two (22) cases in the last 24 hours.

Of the 22, seventeen (17) were for social gathering and five (5) for curfew breach.

The Northern Division continues to record social gathering breach reports with another thirteen (13) arrests made yesterday.

Southern Division recorded fifteen (15) cases, twelve (12) for social gathering and three (3) for curfew breach.

The Central Division recorded twelve (12) cases, eleven (11) for social gathering and one (1) for curfew breach.

Everyone needs to remember that physical exercise activities are limited to those that can be done within safe physical distance from others and therefore rules out any team sport like activities.

This is a concern because apart from the number of social gathering arrests made for drinking yaqona and alcohol, people are being arrested for playing rugby and other team like sports.
