CTG Day 2020 has been postponed
At the direction of the Communicable Disease Control Branch of SA Health, we must unfortunately confirm the rescheduling of this year’s Closing the Gap Day event due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) concerns.
While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety of our staff, partners and community very seriously. We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.
Although the CTG Day 2020 has been postponed, details will be announced regarding the event’s rescheduling later in the year.
