“The sale of tobacco products will remain prohibited in alert level 3 due to the health risks associated with smoking.
While several restrictions have been lifted, some will remain in place including the continued closure of taverns, bars and restaurants unless for the delivery and collection of cooked food.“Alcohol will be sold for home consumption, only under strict conditions on specified days, and for limited hours. Announcements in this regard will be made once we have concluded discussions with the sector,” said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa said though the number of Covid-19 infections was still expected to rise, the country could not remain on lockdown indefinitely. Manufacturing, mining, construction, financial, services, professional and business services, information technology, communications, government services and media services would be allowed to go back to work under level 3.
Daily screening of those returning to work will also be compulsory while employers will have to quarantine those who get infected and assist in the contact tracing.T hose who are 60 years and older, as well as staff with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, cancer and pneumonia, have been advised to continue working from home.
