South Africa entered its first day of lockdown on 27 March 2020
in response to the rapid spread of the coronavirus
(COVID‑19). This lockdown will last until 23h59 on Thursday,
16 April 2020. During this time, all movement of persons will be
restricted.
During the lockdown, all persons will be confined to their
homes, unless they are performing an essential
service, obtaining an essential good or service, collecting a
social grant, or seeking emergency, life-saving or chronic medical
attention. You may not attend any gathering
(except a funeral attended by no more than 50 people and which may
not include any night vigil), move between provinces, and move
between metropolitan and district areas.
