Parts of Namibia Going Back Into Lockdown Mode
Walvis Bay has been on lockdown which is no surprise as it is the port city. However, the rest of the country had a brief reopening. Today, President Geingob announced the Erongo region is back on lockdown.

Just when things were looking up...

That's curious. Air shipments are still getting through. Most everything that leaves Windhoek goes through Johannesburg to New York, Atlanta or Memphis.

I have a shipment of rugs headed to Memphis that should depart Windhoek within the next week or so. If you need any help, PM me.

I think the USA is headed that way because of all the idiots filling the streets full of idiots, and looters. The quarter of one million deaths I believe we will see this doubled in very short order.
No one knows exactly how this things works, and so far no one has come up with a cure for it.

I would love to hunt the north part of Namibia, but at my age of 83 a bad cold could end my hunting, so I suppose it is over for me, with this bug in the air on every airplane is existence. CRYBABY

Getting over there to hunt is going to be the problem unless you have a Gulfstream.

Even with a Gulfstream, unless you're allowed to disembark, pass through customs and officially enter the country, you're still screwed. Big Grin

Another announcement for Namibia is supposedly schedule for Friday. Most likely more shut downs.

The tourism and hunting operators are taking this hard. Fire sales everywhere.

What a mess...

In your opinion, how are things looking up in Grootfontein?

Grootfontein is not an issue and they are back out of the shutdown. Supposedly, the announcement today will be regarding liquor stores shutting down once again. Because after all, liquor causes CV-19. Roll Eyes

The only places where CV-19 cases were identified was Walvis Bay due to the port (not at all surprising) and Swakop from a South African family that brought it with them. There has been three or so suspected deaths, but they were not confirmed so the "official" count is still zero.

Everything that is happening in Nam has been totally reactionary and not based on clinical cases. But this is Africa, so it all makes perfect sense.

**** 22 June Update ****

The President today announced that the Stage One lockdown for the Erongo region will be relaxed to Stage Three which limits crowd size to 50 or less but movement is once again allowed. The exception is Walvis Bay (port city) which will remain on lockdown as the number of cases continues to increase - now standing at 62 confirmed/suspected cases.

The restrictions will continue until 17 September. Still waiting for further clarification, but the 17 September date will be the first likely date for international travel to resume. Assuming NOTHING changes - which is a silly assumption in Africa.

So the saga continues.

Will post more as data comes in...

Doesn't really matter. They are all clawing around in the dark and there is no intelligent coordination.

The only truth is - they have all destroyed their economies over this.

Update 6 July - Looks like the Erongo region and possibly more areas will go back into more restrictive lockdown as cases increase. Still no deaths.

Not with CV-19 on the rise and it is definitely on the rise.

Hell its all around us
The way it looks everyone of us will hunt as close to home as possible
But this sucks for all the outfitters around the world
Wonder how Canadians will cope with this
