The following is a series of posts from the Facebook page of the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa and StateOfTheNation.gov.za.
When the full nationwide lockdown ends, South Africa will transition to a system of alert levels to ensure we can ease restrictions as safely as possible. These will be regularly reviewed based on the rates of infection across the country.
Lockdown measures currently in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 will be eased in a phased and careful manner to ensure South Africa can continue to limit the transmission of the virus as much as possible.
The alert system is designed to allow government to react quickly and change the level of restrictions based on how the rate of coronavirus infections in our country is progressing. This ensures we ease restrictions as safely as possible
Even as we begin to ease some of the lockdown measures, restrictions on large and high-risk gatherings will remain in place to ensure the rate of coronavirus infections does not increase too rapidly.
Even as we begin to ease some of the lockdown restrictions, it is vital that all South Africans continue to observe critical social-distancing and hygiene practices to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Because Covid-19 confirmed case numbers & rates of infection differ across the country, alert levels will be determined at the provincial, and in some cases, the district level once the full nationwide lockdown ends.
