If you decide to kill the economy over this virus then do the lockdown properly. Test all the workers of the essential services. I think this corona virus is very common and has a very low mortality rate of about 0.1 to 0.2%. This was discovered overseas.

Concern is perpetual shutdown of companies for 2 weeks at a time. You take all the right steps but still get positive case. Co shuts for two weeks. Reopens. Few week later another case. Shutdown again for two weeks? Just asking... COVID19inSA

Wait until you send teachers and children back to school. Disaster waiting to happen. Especially in the Eastern Cape!!!!!!!

Workers need sensitization/ proper training especially when it comes to use of gloves people put them on and they become free with start touching all over

We still waiting for more cases during level 4
