\"\"Despite our President Ramaphosa promising that the Disaster Management Act would not be extended beyond 15 March 2022, two years after it was first promulgated, the Government has announced the extension of the Act until 15 April.<\/p>\n

Sadly for our country\u2019s residents hoping for a dropping of the masks, no such regulation change was made! <\/p>\n

BusinessTech<\/b>\u00a0announced that new regulations have been promulgated under the National Health Act, which will in future replace our country’s Disaster Management Act regulations :<\/p>\n

#. \u00a0Persons entering or leaving our country must present a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours if they do not have a vaccination certificate<\/p>\n

#. \u00a0The limits of indoor and outdoor gatherings is 50% of the venue capacity, on condition vaccination certificates are checked. Should vaccination certificates not be requested, only a maximum of 1000 persons may attend indoor events, and 2000 outdoor events.<\/p>\n

#. \u00a0Social Distancing has been reduced to 1 meter.<\/p>\n

#. \u00a0Face masks remain compulsory for indoor gatherings, public buildings, and in public transport.<\/p>\n
