SANParks and the COVID 19 pandemic

[Mel]

They will have immigrated before being not allowed into the country anymore and are still there.
It's only been 10 since the announcement that certain nationalities are not wanted for the time being -
a good holiday takes at least 14 days

[Mel]

I'm sure there will be more details today.

An hour ago they posted on the official KTP Facebook page that they will post an official statement in about 2 or 3 hours.
(So make it 5 hours, but it's gonna be today.)

Theoretically, all countries, also those with few cases, are risk-countries

Heresay on FB apparently the Minister announced on TV that Sanparks will close all camps and bookings apart from long term international self catering guests in the Park ?

[Lisbeth]

I suppose it is easier to close down completely, but I don't understand why self-driving, self-catering guests cannot be allowed with certain limitations, like being self-cleaning etc.

Any place where you have to touch objects touched by other people is regarded dangerous these days. Public toilets, shops, receptions etc. So travelling "safely" is almost impossible.
A respiratory virus is transmitted via hands at most.

Treacherous ground that would be, IMO... why draw a line between international and national long-term.
And then, what's long-term really? Those with three weeks have to go, but four can stay? Just as an example.

My guess is complete shut down. But let's wait and see what really happens.

True! I did not think far enough

Just heard Minister Creasy on the radio:

- All Parks are being closed by Thursday
- Only guests from High Risk Countries ...Italy , Spain USA , UK etc etc will be allowed to stay but they will be in cordened off areas under STRICT Quarantine and repatriated to Home Country after 14 days ..
- All Ranger anti Poacher work will continue
