JOHANNESBURG – The cabinet said it was concerned about reckless and irresponsible behavior by some South Africans who were acting as if COVID-19 no longer exists.
Presidential Minister Jackson Mthembu said the coronavirus national command council would meet next week, after which President Cyril Ramaphosa would brief the nation.
It is expected to address the increase in non-compliance with COVID-19 regulations in communities.
Mthembu said behavior deemed constant was still the best defense to protect each other against COVID-19.
However, it has acknowledged that the conduct of some in society has forced the government to review the current strategy, which involved relaxed closure regulations.
“The cabinet calls on all people in South Africa to continue to adhere to health protocols of practicing social distancing, wearing masks all the time, wearing them in public and washing our hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based disinfectant.”
At the briefing on the results of Wednesday’s cabinet meeting, Mthembu also expressed his good wishes to the 2020 matrix class.
The exams that will end on December 15, began on Thursday.
