The minister’s comments come after Gauteng’s Health MEC Bandile Masuku on Monday said it may possibly look at “intermittent lockdowns” as the province prepares for a peak in Covid-19 cases.
Health Minister Zweli Mhkize has said government and the National Coronavirus Command Council have no plans for any lockdowns, but added there “may be a need in some areas for restrictions”.on Monday said it may possibly look at “intermittent lockdowns” as the province prepares for a peak in Covid-19 cases.
These intermittent lockdowns could see the province opening up and then closing the economy for a particular period of time, said health MEC Bandile Masuku. According to the Mhkize: “One of the challenges with Gauteng is the fact that you have different metropolitan areas, which is one ecosystem. As we move into the future, we need to be open minded as to what our needs are.”“We needed people to get back to their jobs and for the economy to be revived. We needed to do that under new circumstances where we use masks, social distance and sanitise our hands.
