He explained, “Staff have been issued with face masks and face shields. Offices have been sanitised and we will also be rolling out the installation of screens in frontline offices.”
 “The City will ensure that high levels of hygiene prevail and the number of people going to the customer centres will be managed. Customers will also be screened upon entry.”  The Municipality urges the public to ensure that they wear a mask, practise social distancing of at least 2m away from the next person and sanitise or wash their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds regularly to slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
