This plugin makes it easy for South African WordPress sites to add the Covid-19 banner as required by the South African government. This is to make sure that a legitimate source of information is known.
There is a widget that can be used in sidebars and a shortcode that can be used pretty much anywhere else.

South African Covid-19 Banner

Simple, easy and does what you expect. Nice.

Does what it needs to do, and does it well

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.

Does what it says on the can, and seamlessly.
