There are now 22,583 confirmed coronavirus cases in South Africa.
Subject to these measures, all manufacturing, mining, construction, financial services, professional and business services, information technology, communications, government services and media services, will commence full reopening from 1 June.Wholesale and retail trade will be fully opened, including stores, spaza shops and informal traders. E-commerce will continue to remain open.
We have held discussions with the tourism, hotel and restaurant industry regarding the challenges and hardships these sectors are experiencing. We applaud those companies that have contributed to the Solidarity Fund and in other ways to our response. These include companies like Volkswagen, which is building a field hospital in an unused factory in Nelson Mandela Bay that can accommodate 4,000 beds.
A number of businesses have advised us that they are looking at how they can reduce congestion on public transport, including through staggering working hours and providing transport for employees. Measures are also being put in place to ensure safety as children access the school nutrition programme and learner transport.
We are also taking a phased approach to the resumption of learning at institutions of higher learning.
