Many have taken to their social media to share their view following the announcement President Cyril Ramaphosa made concerning the lockdown.
The president mentioned in his family meeting that the country’s lockdown has been eased to level 1.
Although, some regulations are still in place but there is progress as things are beginning to get back to normal.
The changes in regulations include the lifting of all remaining prohibitions on the sale of alcohol other than during curfew and political gatherings, and the easing of the curfew by an hour.
βThe return to alert level 1 means that most of the remaining restrictions on economic activity have been removed. We expect this to lead to higher consumption spending, bolstered by the steady recovery in employment,β Ramaphosa said.
Pearl Modiadie on the other hand worried that the easing of regulations may lead to a third while others felt it is a way forward as they advices people to continue to following the Covid-19 rules.
