Behavioural change key in fighting COVID-19

Police’s spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Dipheko Motube called for behavioural change among members of the community to fight COVID-19 and curb the transmission of the virus. Motube made the call in an interview with Mmegi following President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s concern over the increase in crime and non-adherence to Covid-19 health protocols during a recent nation address. Since the pandemic outbreak, the police have been worried over continued poor adherence to Corona virus preventative measures by members of the public therefore Motube called on members of the community to change the old tradition of doing things and how they have been approaching issues.

He stated that the emerging variant of the novel Corona virus has made it clear that if people do not change the way they do things, they would exacerbate the effects of the pandemic.
