Measures tighten up in the centre of the storm as the national
lockdown moves into the Adjusted Alert Level 3.
Due to a recent rapid rise in the number of coronavirus
infections over the past weeks (nearly 190 000 new infections
recorded since 1 January 2021), the National Government has
officially extended the national lockdown with stringent
regulations in an attempt to contain any further spread of the
virus and its new variant, "the South African
variant".
The Disaster Management Act latest amendment 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 11 January
2021, and shall be effective until 15 February 2021.
