South Africa on Sunday lifted restrictions on the sale of alcohol on weekdays and the movement of people between provinces as President Cyril Ramaphosa said a third wave of the coronavirus may have peaked.

Africa's most industrialised country, which accounts for over a third of total COVID-19 infections and 40% of deaths related to the disease on the continent, had seen a severe third wave of infections over the past month spurred by the Delta variant but case numbers began to decline in recent days.

He moved the country down to an 'adjusted level 3' of coronavirus restrictions from immediate effect, under a five-level system with five being the highest.

Maybe South Africa can share to our government how their CoronaVirus cases dropped? Pretty curious to know..

Restrictions everywhere should not be lifted because cases drop. They should be lifted ONLY when cases are GONE! Haven't we learned this lesson?

Vaccinate everyone who wants and open whole world. Free hand of the nature will do the rest.

thanks
