Ghanzi — The Vice President, Mr Slumber Tsogwane, says Botswana wishes that SADC member states could make it mandatory to test truck drivers at points of entry.
Addressing Ghanzi COVID-19 teams and local authorities on Friday, Mr Tsogwane said President Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi was in touch with his SADC counterparts to discuss the issue.
He said Botswana had employed various ways of curbing coronavirus spread such as testing of truck drivers upon entry at all borders.
Furthermore, the Vice President said compliance to COVID-19 protocols should not be compromised, hence the need to intensify public education at community level.
Ghanzi District commissioner, Mr Mooketsi Lesetedi said the area had received overwhelming support from donors, particularly farmers.
