According to councillor, some in Alex still dismiss the coronavirus as a hoax or scam

ALEXANDRA – He advised, "Despite your terrible living conditions, try to remain indoors and purchase your essential items in bulk to limit going to public spaces."

With the country nearing the end of the extended lockdown period, some in Alex still dismiss the coronavirus as a hoax or scam promoted for ulterior motives.

“They no longer apply sanitisers, wash hands as required, dismiss mitigating measures and mock those who wear masks,” said EFF councillor Moshe Mphahlele, who is concerned about the attitudes of those who are impressionable.

He advised, “Despite your terrible living conditions, try to remain indoors and purchase your essential items in bulk to limit going to public spaces.”

Warning the skeptics, Mphahlele said, “The evidence and effects of the scourge show after a 14-day incubation period.”

He advised residents not to doubt scientific and medical evidence and the daily news updates on the increasing infections and deaths in Gauteng. “Enhance your knowledge on its deadly effect by reading more on the virus’ impact in other countries.”
