JOHANNESBURG – South Africans are waking up for the first day under the level one lockdown level, which means that you are now allowed to gather in bulk, you have an extra day to buy alcohol, and the nightly curfew has been extended.
Last week, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the easing of more lockdown restrictions that have been in place for almost half the year.
However, international travel for work and leisure will only be reduced from the first of next month.

Level one means that you can now attend larger meetings as long as the number does not exceed 50% of the usual capacity of a venue and is limited to 250 people if it is indoors.
The outdoor facilities can host up to 500 people from Monday as long as the threshold of 50% capacity is not exceeded.
This also counts for gyms, entertainment venues, and religious gatherings.
Now you can buy alcohol for home consumption between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The curfew has been extended until midnight; after that, no one can roam the streets without a permit until 4 a.m. M.
International travel will resume next month, however strict protocols will be implemented.
And most importantly, you should still wear your mask in public.
