Love camping. Easy to do social distancing at camp sites. You can see and hear and interact with neighbours without being too close. Everybody can sanitise ablution before and after .

Camping does not pose a risk with regards to Covid infection in the same way going to a mall or even school poses. People should just take the necessary precautions, like the president said, it is up to all of us to take care!!

#952

Because I personally is of the opinion that at a camping site we are safer than in most public areas currently open to the public. That the tourism industry suffers financially and that we as campers and resort owners can take more than required precautionary safety measures to avoid spreading the Covid 19 virus. That dwelling in caravan parks automatically create the required social distance.

Johan Kotze (Sasolburg, 2020-06-28)

#958

The current rules makes no sense to prevent camping with the other businesses that is open. The risk is higher to go shopping

As a camper I support this cause 100%. Campers/holidaymakers will comply with all the guidelines and regulations for camping in order to support resorts, camping sites and their staff to survive the financial impact this pandemic had on their businesses.

If considered, it is important that we are allowed to travel between provinces.
