Following the confirmation by South African COVID-19 Modelling
Consortium that the country has emerged from the third wave of
Covid-19 infections (the average number of new cases on the past
week was approximately 1800 per day) the Cabinet has decided to
ease restrictions and move the country from Adjusted Alert Level 2
and place it on Adjusted Alert Level 1.
The latest amendment to the Regulations in terms of the Disaster
Management Act was gazetted by the Minister of Cooperative
Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), Dr Dlamini-Zuma, and
the amended regulations were officially announced by the President
of the Republic, Cyril Ramaphosa, on 30 September 2021, and are
effective from 01 October 2021.
