Local COVID-19 Interventions
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–20 Coronavirus pandemic. As of 25 August 2020, more than 23 million cases have been reported in more than 200 countries and territories, resulting in more than 800,000 deaths.
In response to the outbreak of the pandemic, Noblesfontein Wind Farm together with Knowledge Pele decided to launch certain relief interventions to combat the economic impact resulting from the virus on vulnerable community members of Victoria West and Hutchinson.
