Coronavirus lockdown for SA was 'the right move', says Parliament’s health committee chair

On Monday night, President Cyril Ramaphosa stepped up government’s efforts to combat the rapidly spreading virus when he announced the 21-day lockdown which comes into effect from Thursday midnight.

This means South Africans have to stay home to contain the virus, but essential service personnel including the police, the army, doctors and nurses are exempt. Confirmed coronavirus cases in the country jumped to 554 on Tuesday, with Health Minister Zweli Mkhize warning the number would continue to grow. “I hope the country will realise that, among other things, this will create stability in terms of health and in the economy of the country,” Dr Dhlomo said.
