Health minister Zweli Mkhize says normalcy needs to return as the level of Covid-19 infections drops

'We need to still keep some measures around mixing‚ gatherings and so on‚ but we need to start opening up more economic activities.'Expectations are high that an announcement will be made this week about the country moving to level 1 of the risk-adjusted strategy to contain the spread of Covid-19.

President Cyril Ramaphosa indicated during an engagement with the SA National Editors’ Forum on September 9 that he will address the nation this week, and health minister Zweli Mkhize said in a radio interview on the same day that the declining number of Covid-19 infections may see the country move to level 1 of the lockdown in a few days’ time.
