Mkhize said in the coming days, the country would see a rise in infections, more people would be hospitalised, and many would lose their lives.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize and Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu have launched a new multi-sectoral ministerial advisory committee on social behavioural change, in an effort to expand the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The MAC team comes from diversity of various stakeholders which represents civil society organisations, who are non-governmental organisation, youth organisations, church leaders and traditional leaders, among others. “That collective discipline and cooperation is what allowed us to flatten the curve, push the peak out by a few months, save many lives and balance our resources,” he said.
He said Covid-19 had changed the way people do things, dress, wash their hands, greet and show affection. And as the economy reopened amid rising infections, Mkhize said the government appreciated the “difficulty of sustaining what feels unnatural”.“It needs the entire buy-in of individuals, communities, societies, cultures and various social groupings,” he said.
