GEORGE NEWS - The public and organisations are herewith advised that in terms of the Community Fire Safety By-Law the owner of premises where any event (for the purposes of entertainment and/or public assembly) where such event including staff will exceed 50 persons, is required to apply for a Population Certificate.
Where such an event is to be held on municipal property, which includes public open spaces a decision has been taken by the Municipality that no social events will be permitted on municipal property, including open spaces belonging to the municipality, due to the current resurgence of Covid-19 pandemic.
The public is urged to consider the quick rise in infection statistics for George and surrounds, as gatherings no matter how small, have the potential to become super spreader events.
Municipal Law Enforcement Officers will monitor open public spaces which fall under the ownership of the George Municipality on Wednesday 16 June.
