The affected border posts are Stockpoort/Parr's Halt, Makgobistad/Phitshane Molopo, Bray, Groblersbridge/Martins Drift, and Pontdrift.

Health facilities in the Zambezi Region have been experiencing an increase in the number of patients treated since the Katima Mulilo Border Post turned to operating 24 hours per day.
