Holidaymakers returning to Gauteng are being thoroughly checked at provincial tollgates for COVID-19 symptoms. Health authorities are focusing on people returning from hotspot areas.
Mass roadblocks are in place on most national roads across the country as people return home part of efforts to minimise interprovincial transfer and the spread of the coronavirus.
Gauteng Health MEC Nomathemba Mokgethi said, “we are testing all those people from hotspot areas and others we just check your temperature.”
As most people will be traveling long distances, returning to our beautiful City & some moving between our City to their place of residence. Together with the Premier of Gauteng @David_Makhura & MEC’s, we’re on a road safety awareness campaign at Grasmere Toll Plaza#WeServeJoburg pic.twitter.com/snEnqXgz5K

“If you present with signs, you also go to the testing stations. We have about seven testing stations.
Mokgethi said the turnaround for test results is approximately 48 hours so motorists will know their status by Tuesday.
