Windhoek, 13 April 2020 – Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) is pleased to inform the public that the 40 guests that were isolated at its Hardap Resort from 25 March 2020 up until 9 April 2020 were all safely released without showing any symptoms of COVID-19.

 

During their stay, many guests expressed their great appreciation towards the resort staff with Mr Jochen Berends, who was one of the guests staying there saying “It’s time to go home. I just finished the 14-day quarantine at NWR Hardap Resort. Many thanks to the NWR team for the professional service”.

 

 

Mrs Sophia Burger, Hardap Resort Assistant Manager, was very grateful for the experience and the manner that her team came together to assist in contributing towards this national cause. She wanted to assure future Hardap resort guests that the resort has been disinfected and sanitised by the Ministry of Health and Social Services to ensure their safety. “No one should be afraid to come and pay us a visit after the lockdown has been removed”, said Mrs Burger.

 

Dr Matthias Ngwangwama, NWR Acting Managing Director, drove to the resort to inspect the disinfection process and ensure that the resort was indeed in a position to host future guests. He was very grateful towards the Government for entrusting NWR with such an essential role. “I would like to assure potential visitors to the Hardap resort that the place remains safe as all 40 isolated guests were released without any symptoms. I want to pay homage to our employees who, in my eyes, are heroes and heroines who were at the frontline, taking care of the quarantined guests during their 14-day stay at the resort,” said Dr Ngwangwama.
