News24 reported the National Coronavirus Command Council and Cabinet were advised to lift the ban on the sale of tobacco products and alcohol and move the country to Level 2The NCCC and Cabinet were advised the number of Covid-19 cases reported daily were on the decline and the economic devastation caused by the prohibition could no longer be justified.
"There is no desire on the part of government to leave this prohibition in place for longer than it is regarded as necessary." "A critical aspect of doing this is to ensure that our healthcare system and healthcare workers remain functional, effective and available. "After the initial prohibition on the sale of alcohol was uplifted, with effect from 1 June 2020, a significant increase in alcohol-related trauma cases requiring admissions and treatment in hospitals were reported," read her affidavit.
