The Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security, Daniel Kashikola said borders will remain closed except for Namibians coming back to the country, trucks bringing in essential goods and those searching for medical attention as long as mandatory quarantine applies. In regard to the zoning of regions, Kashikola said clustering is done to enable monitoring and controlling travelling within the regions which will also be subjected to restrictions, adding that there will be checkpoints within and between regions and all entry points. Travelling between zones will require written authorisation from the Ministry of Health, Trade or Home Affairs. He, however, noted that there are challenges in regard to lockdown regulations. People are violating alcohol regulations and outdoor exercises in large numbers. Kashikola called on the public to limit their movements and interactions. He said those breaking regulations are fined but are not detained as they might infect those already in cells. In his concluding remarks, Kashikola said, “it is better to stay home.” He said this during an update on immigration control and lockdown measures at the COVID-19 Communication Centre today.
