The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has reviewed the
decision of closure of the beaches for swimming and the risk associated with it
following the COVID-19 positive cases within our lifeguard staff complement.
The City has cautiously decided to reopen the beaches for
swimming.
“However it is important to note that swimming remains a risk
as there will be no lifeguards on duty due to the COVID-19 positive cases
within the lifeguard staff complement. We advise residents who decide to swim to do so with
caution,” the statement read.
The City is exploring options to restore normality under the
current circumstances.
“Again, residents must be aware that there are no lifeguards
on duty for now.”
