Hlomuka says they will continue with plans to monitor routes until schools reopen.
"So far, we have a reduction of 10 percent, but the operations are still continuing as we are aware that a number of tourists that have visited KZN are now going back to their provinces.
"We are monitoring the N2 and N3. We will be monitoring until the end of January."
