South Africa’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa has moved the country to alert Level 4 lockdown, with stricter restrictions from today, Monday. This is after the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC) advised that the limited restrictions previously imposed were not that effective. This does not include work, business or commercial travel, transit through airports or the transport of goods.
To ease pressure on hospitals, the sale of alcohol is prohibited for both on-site and off-site consumption for 14 days. Ramaphosa said the MAC had advised that a prohibition would ease the pressure placed on hospital services by alcohol-related emergency incidents. All private and public schools will close for the winter holidays from Wednesday.
