SOUTH AFRICA
Tobacco and alcohol ban lifted

As South Africa’s coronavirus numbers decline, the country moves to alert level 2 lifting the ban on tobacco and alcohol, reports Bloomberg.

In an attempt to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, South Africa had banned the sale of tobacco and alcohol in late March, thus implementing one of the strictest lockdown measures worldwide. Now, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that the country will be enabling most of the economic activity to resume, reports Bloomberg.
“We are making progress in our fight again Covid on a number of fronts,” Ramaphosa said in a televised address to the nation. “Amid the signs of hope, we are ready to enter a new phase in our response to the pandemic.”
Inter-provincial travel and social visits will be permitted, while international travel and gatherings of more than 50 people will still be restricted. Restaurants and bars will also be allowed to reopen, according to Bloomberg.
“The further easing of restrictions presents us with the greatest opportunity since the start of the pandemic to breathe life into our struggling economy,” Ramaphosa said. “Even as we open up economic activity, it will take a long time for industries and businesses to recover and there is much work still to be done.”
