Cogta Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said if South Africans can stick to observing all the Covid-19 protocols put in place, like wearing masks at all times when in public spaces and sanitising, their Christmas may be brighter with fewer restrictions.
Her assurance comes as some fear that the packed political rallies in the run-up to the elections on Monday could be super spreader events that could trigger the National Coronavirus Command Council to impose the harder lockdown after the elections.
“A lockdown is not a random action, we look at the figures, how many people are getting infected, we get advice from health, we get advice from the advisory council. So if the figures remain as they are, there shouldn’t be any harder lockdown. So, it will depend on how the figures behave,” Dlamini-Zuma said.
“There was a slow start, things didn’t start at 8, the material was coming slowly. I think by now it should be okay,” she said.
