Change of behaviour among all South Africans is important and everyone should practice the following hygiene steps: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or hand sanitiser for at least 20 seconds, always cover your nose and mouth with a mask or scarf when you are in a public place and to practice social distancing. ” Rakgoale added, “Recipients of grants must note that money will always be in their accounts beyond the said dates. This is our contribution to ensure that the vulnerable people of our society are not exposed to the coronavirus.”
