Zweli Mkhize, Health Minister has said that the matter was still under consideration by the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC)
Zweli Mkhize, Health Minister has revealed that the government had not yet finalised any decision on whether the country was ready for lockdown regulations to be eased.
There have been calls flying around from several corners of society for President Cyril Ramaphosa to open up more sectors of an economy battered by COVID-19.
Mkhize also said that the matter was still under consideration by the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC).
“The question of whether we’re ready for level two, we’re discussing it with the NCCC who will give us a guide on that but right now a lot of consultations are going on and with the numbers that are moving, there’s certainly adjustments that we have to look at.”
Mkhize further said the country should exercise patient and wait for Ramaphosa to make the decision on the matter.
“The president will be able to give a full guide at that point when that decision is made not. No decision has been made yet about level 2.”
