However, Airports Company South Africa will continue with temperature screening checks for airport entry and will only allow entry to those with the applicable paperwork for flight.

Mango announced more details in a statement on its website:"Travel permits will no longer be required for all travel. Wearing of a mask in the airport and for travel is mandatory and social distancing will still be required within airport terminals. Guests are encouraged to maintain general hand hygiene and sanitise frequently."While the announcement is good news for some domestic travellers, others believe its a bad idea, some saying it is too soon as the pandemic is not yet over.

User @missmnke posted that"This is not a wise decision." while another @BryanTurnerZA posted"This... is not a good thing to do." .While the government, the airports and airlines have done their best to ensure that Covid-19 regulations measure global health and safety standards, it is up to a passenger to ensure that they wear a mask.

Wearing a mask may not be comfortable, but you need to wear it to protect yourself and others. Do not add to someone's stress by choosing to not wear your mask. If you have the privilege to fly, then you should wear your mask.
