 South Africa has extended its nightly curfew and limited to the number of people as gatherings to slow the spread of COVID-19 as positive cases surge. The level 2 lockdown restrictions starts on Monday, forcing non-essential establishments like restaurants, bars and fitness centres to close by 10pm local time as the curfew would now begin at 11pm midnight and end at 4am. All gatherings will be limited to a maximum of 100 people indoors from 250 and 250 people outdoors from 500. Well the venue is too small to accommodate these numbers, no more than 50% of the capacity of the venue may be used. The Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19 has therefore recommended that the country urgently implement further restrictions to limit the increase in infections. It bases this recommendation on the sustained increase in new cases in the last 14 days. Increased hospital admissions in almost all provinces and an increase in the proportion of COVID tests that are positive.
