MultiChoice Namibia is the pan-African pay-TV operator MultiChoice Africa's next country-specific operations that has been forced to shut down its head office in Windhoek after a MultiChoice Namibia staff member tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus.
MultiChoice Namibia has now closed its head office in Nelson Mandela Avenue in Windhoek.
The MultiChoice Namibia building shut down comes just after MultiChoice Zimbabwe was forced to temporarily close its DStv Avondale branch for Covid-19 disinfection after a MultiChoice staffer there also tested Covid-19 positive.
The MultiChoice offices in the countries are being deep-cleaned.
MultiChoice Zimbabwe shuttered its office in the PaSangano building in Avondale, Harare for fumigation with the staffers who were ordered to stay home for a week.
MultiChoice Namibia meanwhile announced that it's head office is now shut as well, with the MultiChoice staffer who has been quarantined along with the person's family, while people who the individual might have been in contact with who are being screened for Covid-19.
The MultiChoice Namibia head office will now undergo cleaning and sanitization and will be locked for between 10 and 14 days with DStv Nigeria subscibers who have to use either the call centre or "self-service" option. DStv decoder repairs will now be done at MultiChoice's Katutura brand in Independence Avenue in Windhoek.
