TRANSCRIPT
ON SATURDAY, 9 MAY 2020, we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. The theme this year is “Birds connect our world” and reflects on how birds through their migratory patterns travel to all parts of the world. Worldwide there are eight recognised fly-ways along which terrestrial and coastal migratory birds travel. Added to this are the paths taken by marine birds over the At-lantic and Pacific Oceans. Migration is in a north-south direction and is undertaken to escape the cold northern winters. Birds breed in the summer in the far north and spend the non-breed-ing season in the warmer climates south of the equator.
South Africa, being at the tip of Africa, ends the migratory pas-sage for terrestrial and coastal migratory birds traveling along the two flyways that extend from the northern parts of Europe and Asia into the southern parts of Africa. Marine birds fly further south to islands in the south Atlantic and to Antarctica.

8 May 2020 WEEKLY UPDATE
Sunday, 10 May is Mother’s Day. To all the Mothers, (including those who also
assume the role of mothers), we recognise that many of you have had to tap
into your superpowers as you juggle home-schooling, working from home, and
doing your household chores. We wish you a happy Mother’s Day and hope
that you are able to put your feet up and be valued and pampered on this day.

A live dashboard for the public to stay informed in real time
WESTERN CAPE GOVERNMENT recently introduced a live statistical dashboard. This dashboard will provide real-time statis-tical data to the public, including the number of tests conducted, the number of positive cases and other important information. This information will be provided at a sub-district level initially, with a view to start providing ward level data in the near future.
The dashboard can be viewed here: https://coronavirus.westerncape.gov.za/covid-19-dashboard
