Premier Alan Winde says the Western Cape was ready to move from level 4 of the lockdown to level 3, following what he calls a targeted response to dealing with coronavirus hotspots. | Day57oflockdown
As of Thursday afternoon, the Western Cape had recorded 11 810 confirmed cases with 5 898 being active cases and 5 677 recoveries.
President Cyril Ramaphosa had stressed during his address to the nation last week that easing to level 3 was subject to whether an area was considered a hotspot. If cases there continued to rise then those areas would likely remain on level 4. The other responses deal with ensuring that businesses comply through the economic response. The province also plans to focus on transportation and ensuring compliance along with the limited movement of people.
