But further extension of a Level 5 lockdown in major cities, including eThekwini, would damage the economy more than it had already suffered, an analyst has warned.
While most of the country is bracing for the slight relief that a Level 4 nationwide lockdown poses, some parts could remain on Level 5 – including the largest metro in KwaZulu-Natal.
The answers could well be in the numbers and the ever-increasing Covid-19 cases discovered daily in the Durban area. Zikalala said they suspect there might be a problem with the management of these cases, particularly at private hospitals. The department has brought mobile testing units to eThekwini to assist with fast-tracking the testing programme. The University of KwaZulu-Natal has offered to include its post-graduate students to boost capacity.
Since the intensification of the lockdown last week, KZN police made 1 182 arrests related to the breaking of Covid-19 regulations.
