DEMOCRATIC Alliance Shadow Minister of Health and party spokesperson Siviwe Gwarube said on Wednesday that the changes to the State of Disaster regulations announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa continue to hold the country back from a full recovery.
On Tuesday evening Ramaphosa announced the relaxation of lockdown regulations, following a meeting with premiers and mayors from all provinces.
The Covid-19 requirement of wearing face masks outdoors has been lifted, however, they must still be worn in indoor spaces.
Indoor and outdoor venues can take up to 50% of their capacity and proof of vaccination must be enforced or else only 1 000 people and 2 000 people will be allowed indoors and outdoors respectively.
Sport gatherings, conferences and music performances will be allowed and the number of people allowed at a funeral will increase to 200, however, funerals are limited to two hours.
Aside from schools, a one-meter gap must still be maintained between people.
