We have noted with regret the 993 lives we have lost and send our deepest condolences to their families and friends. As at 6 Septemer 2020, the active cases were 460 in the City, tests continue being done and it pleases us to see this kind of decline.”
“All our hotspot areas recorded less than 100 cases each, which is a positive indication for us. We are happier about the recovery rate we have, on Monday, 7 September 2020 a total of 20657 recoveries were recorded. The fight is not over yet, but this is a step in the right direction.”
A total of 21747 COVID-19 cases have been recorded in the City.
NMBM Disaster Management Chairperson Shane Brown said: “For the first in months, we recorded zero COVID-19 cases in NMBM on Sunday. That gives us hope that soon we will win the battle against the pandemic. But all of that is dependent on our residents, we urge them to continue wearing their masks when they are in public, to sanitise and wash their hands regularly and to keep to a safe social distancing when in public.”
