“The disaster management centre operated from March 25, 2020 on a 24/7 basis to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. The team worked in 12-hour shifts to provide critical support to citizens, municipalities, sector departments and the province as a whole.”

He said the centre had been able to organise the required help through the various clusters it co-ordinates in the province.
