President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced several changes to the current lockdown measures for South Africa as the country moves towards lifting the national state of disaster.
In a national address on Tuesday evening , Ramaphosa said the country is now at a ‘watershed moment’ as it enters the next phase of managing the pandemic.
However, he stressed that the eventual lifting of the state of disaster does not mean the end of the pandemic but rather signifies a change in the way Covid will be managed by the government. For gatherings where no valid vaccine certificates are required, artificial limits of 1,000 and 2,000 people will apply for indoor and outdoor gatherings, respectively.
