from Covid-19, the respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus. He said there were now 1,749 confirmed cases across SA.can tell you without any shadow of doubt that the infection rate in South Africa would have been a lot, lot higher than what we have,” said Ramaphosa.
“The lockdown, for all intents and purposes, has been one of those important measures we have used to save lives [and] to contain the spread of the pandemic. From that side alone, we were correct in locking down our country.”“Of course it impacts on the economy negatively, but it is important to save lives. Lives are important and the lives of our people matter. The economy is going to take a real knock.
“But the lives of each South African does matter, and that is why I've continued to say, let us take these regulations seriously,” he said.“In terms of compliance [with the regulations], we're finding that many of our people throughout the country are abiding by the lockdown and its regulations. “There are pockets, here and there, of people who are still getting on with their lives as though there is no coronavirus. We want to say to those people that this is a serious, serious disease. It is affecting people throughout the world.
“South Africans must also take it seriously. We must abide by the regulations that have been published by government,” he said.
If the lockdown helped to reduce the spread of Coronavirus since from the beginning of its period while the cases were low then it should be extended as the cases are increasing.
How many days is 'a few days' there is a meme that I want 2 use 4 the count down. Wanna know if I shud keep it or delete it 😭😭😭😭
Optimistic and realistic as i am, i know that we are in trouble as a country and would therefore have to extend this Lockdown at all costs. It wasn't as effective, because damage had already been done and if you were to let people out early as from the 16th then you're mad.
Few days?
News24 already knows for sure
Without conducting extensive tests we will be delusional thinking that this is effective.
Lockdown has been very effective and no doubt about that
