The health minister says the government is not oblivious to the pressure for eased restrictions

Health minister Joe Phaahla dropped a broad hint on Friday that his department will recommend an easing of the alert level 3 lockdown next week.

“We are hoping that KwaZulu-Natal will start to decline and Eastern Cape will stabilise,” he said. “We will give a report to the president in the next week and if it becomes clear that there is stability we will give the necessary advice.”“The government is very sensitive to this matter, but at the same time we are about saving lives and saving livelihoods,” he said. The number of active Covid-19 infections nationwide was 145,026 at close of business on Thursday, 13.4% lower than a week earlier.

“What we are looking at is soft kinds of incentives. People are hungry for entertainment, for music festivals, to go to Orlando stadium to watch a soccer match,” Phaahla told the briefing.

Lockdown has been shown to be ineffective and should immediately be lifted along with ending of the SOD. Circumstances do not justify continuation of either. Need to deal with Covid as endemic now.
