The checkpoint at Qauia settlement in Lami

Police and RFMF personnel have set up checkpoints to ensure that no one comes out of Qauia settlement in Lami.

This as they go into day one of a two days lockdown.

FBC News visited the settlement and saw little to no movement in and out of the area.

Police also dispersed the taxi base just on the outskirt of this community in an effort to minimize interaction in the area.

People trying to access the settlement were also turned away from the checkpoint as they do not permanently reside in the area.

The Health Ministry states that this is a necessary step in stopping this infection from spreading further in the community.
