JOHANNESBURG – With the holiday season just around the corner, the South African Restaurant Association (Rasa) said on Monday that it wanted the COVID-19 closure restrictions lifted completely.
The industry, like many others, suffered huge financial losses during the hard shutdown earlier this year, with several shutting down permanently.
Rasa CEO Wendy Alberts said the organization was concerned by speculation that regulations could be tightened again as some provinces experience a second wave of the novel coronavirus.
“Certainly we would not risk at any time to think about returning to any level. It would be bad for the industry and we would never recover. “
The Eastern and Western Cape are experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, raising concern among healthcare professionals.
There are now 787,702 coronavirus cases in South Africa, with 2,563 additional cases reported in the last 24-hour cycle.
