The simple, kind act of sharing food with a workmate could turn out to be the pathway to Covid-19, the Breede Valley Municipality's disaster management director has found.
For Seon Swartz, the shadow of death with Covid-19 has passed through the valley 29 times in the past eight weeks, as they mourn the number of people who have died from the coronavirus.

Swartz said one case was traced to a person who had shared food from the same pot as a group of people sitting around together to eat.
As schools plan to welcome back Grade 10 and 11 pupils from Monday, everybody involved in the fight against the virus is advocating the same thing: keep your distance, wear a mask, wash your hands and sanitise.
Swartz said the 29 people did not die on the same day - but over the past eight weeks.
