A great plugin, but could be better.
Thus far, the plugin has worked for most use cases. I would however recommend the following: Allowing links (website, hotline, WhatsApp) to open in a new/blank tab. Whilst most responsible businesses have no problem displaying the banner and directing traffic to the website and contact numbers; they also don't want to lose their active visitors. Either allowing for custom color options for links in the banner or forcing the COVID-19 site color scheme ("!important"). I have found a few situations where the theme styling affected the links (white links on white background) and needed to add custom CSS. Other than the above, I believe that this plugin provides one of the easiest ways to to fulfill legal requirements and share factual information regarding COVID-19 in South Africa.

Does what it says on the can, and seamlessly.
If you run a South African based site and simply wish to add a banner that adds a link to valued information on the matter → this does so perfectly. @seagyn definitely builds quality and keen to see his other plugins after experiencing this one.
