Health officials have called for the introduction of stricter measures to curb South Africa’s rising Covid-19 cases and to mitigate the impact of a third wave of infections.
The National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) will meet on Tuesday (25 May) to discuss possible measures, News24 reported.
Among the considerations is a move to an adjusted level 2 lockdown, which has been recommended by the country’s Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC).
The adjusted level 2 lockdown would include further restrictions around large social gatherings as well as a longer evening curfew.
