Eastern Cape — The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service in Eastern Cape, Major General Andries Swart informs the public that the Dimbaza, New Brighton, Willowvale and Whittlesea Police Stations are now fully operational.

Motherwell, King William's Town and Bhisho Police stations were decontaminated on 21 May 2020 and are expected to open by Saturday 23 May 2020.

Decontamination at Graaff Reinet police station is underway and the station will be fully operational on Monday, 25 May 2020.
