Extending the coronavirus lockdown in its current form will not be economically viable and the national government should consider a hybrid model, Western Cape premier Alan Winde says.
Indications are that President Cyril Ramaphosa will announce an extension of the lockdown, but it’s unclear whether it will remain in its current form. The current regulations aim to limit the movement of people, allowing providers of essential services, such as healthcare and grocery retailers, to operate.The stringent regulations prohibit restaurants and fast food outlets from operating, and even the sale of alcohol and cigarettes has been banned.
“We have definitely slowed down the coronavirus, but we are not ready to just say everything is back to normal. We will definitely not be back to a normal state for many months,” Winde said.Earlier in April, economist Ricardo Hausmann said lockdowns are not sustainable and can bankrupt economies, especially those without fiscal space.
So rather the people be killed
