The ANC believes the country will be back to catastrophic pre-pandemic levels if no regulations are promulgated once the national state of disaster is scrapped. | ZintleMahlati
The party welcomed the gazetting of regulations for public comment by Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
The ANC said if there were no regulations when the state of disaster was scrapped, the country would be affected. The regulations had been in place since March 2020. The government had been criticised for not lifting the state of disaster. President Cyril Ramaphosa indicated last week during his national address that he would end the state of disaster.
Some of the regulations that would likely remain under Covid-19 health regulations, include relaxed rules on mask-wearing, the payment of the R350 social in distress grant and other health measures. "It is of critical importance to take note that should there be no 'transitional' regulations from Cogta, and the national state of disaster is terminated before the health regulations are promulgated, the country will be back to the pre-March 2020 situation.
