He said districts would be assessed according to the average number of active cases they had in a week. Depending on the average active cases per 100,000 people, districts will be individually assigned levels of lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus.“Community organisations, specifically local government, civil society, religious organisations and community policing forums, will be empowered to monitor compliance and enforce regulations,” he said.
