The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs(COGTA), Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma designated under section 3 and 27(2) of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act No. 57 of 2002), has gazetted a notice which moves the country to Adjusted Level 2 as announced by the President. The Minister also published regulations relating to alert level 2. This follows consultations with Premiers, Mayors and other stakeholders in the Presidential Coordinating Council (PCC), and a decision by Cabinet to Intensify measures to curb the spread of the virus.

Communities, industries, businesses, and entities, both private and in the public sector, must operate within the Adjusted Alert Level 2 regulations as amended and gazetted. Every person is obliged to observe curfew time from 23H00 until 04H00 daily, unless a person has a permit. Attendance of funerals is limited to 100 persons. All people attending gatherings including faith-based ones are restricted to a total number of 100 people indoors and 250 outdoors. Where the venue is too small to accommodate these numbers with appropriate social distancing, then no more than 50 percent of the capacity of the venue may be used.

Minister Dlamini Zuma calls on citizens to remain cautious, vigilant, and safe, as some provinces are officially experiencing the third wave.
