SA Coronavirus Banner Plugin
Make it easy for South African WordPress sites to add the COVID-19 banner as required by the South African government.
All .za domain names are required by the South African Government to have a way to direct people to a legitimate source of information regarding COVID-19.
The relevant Government Gazette, number 43164, is available to be downloaded from the Government Printing Works (GPW) as a PDF.
The requirement for websites to link to the government COVID-19 website is set out in paragraph 5.1.4.
Should you require any changes or if you come across a bug please submit a query through https://github.com/robindevitt/sa-coronavirus-banner/issues.
