The South African government has provided more details on the gradual easing of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. The country will move from level five to level four on Friday.


Cooperative Governance Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said South Africans will be allowed to exercise within their neighbourhoods when level-four restrictions kick in but this will only be for three hours a day.

The sale of tobacco products will once again be banned during level four.

According to the national coronavirus command council, after serious consultations and opposition from the public they decided against this.

Meanwhile, a once-off allowance will be given for people moving from one province to another under level four.
