- The government has a draft “risk-adjusted strategy for economic activity” that will determine what life will look like after the hard lockdown.
- It proposes five levels of restrictions, with the spread of the coronavirus and the readiness of the health system determining which is in force.
- Takeaway food returns under Level 3, and domestic workers under Level 2.
- There is no mention of cigarettes, or out-of-home exercise.
A draft plan circulating in government circles is giving South Africa a glimpse of what life after lockdown may look like – and when booze will be on sale again.
A presentation on the “risk-adjusted strategy for economic activity” leaked this week and has since been widely circulated.
Presidency spokesperson Khusela Diko confirmed its authenticity, but said it was prepared as early input, with the implication that it may be well out of date. But at least one version appears to have been receiving attention at a high level as recently as Sunday.
The document proposes a five-level approach, with different restrictions applying depending on the speed at which the coronavirus is spreading, and how ready the health system is to deal with cases of Covid-19.
Different levels could apply in different provinces, and higher levels could be imposed again after rules are relaxed if necessary.
