Balance between protecting health, livelihoods needed, says David_Makhura

JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng Premier David Makhura on Thursday said there must be a balance between protecting the health of the people and their livelihoods, during the coronvirus pandemic.

It’s a catch 22 situation - Makhura can either allow the complete reopening of the economy and risk a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases and deaths or he can keep a conservative approach and possibly see poverty skyrocket. Makhura said this month has been dedicated to address this: “Wellbeing has got many facets; if people who used to work no longer work, it has an impact on their mental health and ability to feed themselves and their families.”
