    A Covid-19 recovery rate that is moving close to 80%; reduced hospital admissions; a lower infection rate; and the need to resuscitate a struggling economy are some of the main reasons that President Cyril Ramaphosa announced sweeping changes to the lockdown regulations last night.

    Ramaphosa announced that Cabinet had made a decision to move to alert level 2, which takes effect from midnight tomorrow.

    Both the alcohol ban and the ban on tobacco products have been lifted. Ramaphosa was specific that alcohol sales in venues will be limited to a yet to be stipulated number of people, while bottle stores will only be allowed to operate from 9am to 5pm from Monday to Thursday.

    All interprovincial travel as well as social visits will also be allowed. The state of disaster has, however, been extended to September 15 and the 10pm to 4am curfew has been retained.
