A second wave of Covid-19 infections is inevitable as taverns and nightclubs become super-spreaders of the virus.

Durban –

He made reference to the UK, US, South Korea and Spain, as some of the more than 60 countries to experience a second wave. Lucky Ntimane, convener of the South African Liquor Traders Council, said the council was concerned about reports of various liquor traders not adhering to the Covid-19 regulations governing the sale of liquor.

Ntimane said the liquor industry remained committed to working with the government in creating a social contract. “This will ensure that we partner to fight the Covid-19 pandemic together, as we protect lives and safeguard livelihoods in this important sector,” he said.

Are the South African top scientists doing anything about a preventative vaccine? All they have been doing is instilling fear with no solutions, the only solutions they have been proposing are LockDowns. They remain unaffected becos their 'essential jobs' remain active.

Forget this nonsense and let’s get on with what is left of our lives.

Liar.

YOU ARE GUILTY OF THIS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR IT ONE DAY. karma

Dunno, there's been a ton of protesting lately by the EFFSouthAfrica losers

And so ficking what ? I’m so over this shit. I’m not scared of a second rate hyped up virus. Pray tell us how many of the super spreaders victims end up in hospital & how many die. Just wondering 🤔

...and Julius_S_Malema protests. His followers do not wear masks and 100's of them. You will see the outbreak in Senekal.

Ag fokkof

Why don't you mention all the protests and funerals.

First they whined schools would be super vectors.. That never happened. Oh shit, what crap can we feed them.. Oh OK nightclubs and taverns opened for months (!) now are blamed.. Not the mask less protestors as we see daily. Have case numbers increased? No. IOL go fact check FFS

FFS, no more COVID cooked chicken again.

Do they have stats for this? They actually implying black people are the spreaders of the disease without even giving us stats, we cant just be told by politicians&some 'experts' and expected to bliv it,things no longer work that way,we have learned the hard way in this country

SA's top schyster follows the NWO script to try to keep SA locked in fear. Don't listen to paid shills. Listen to science and data. It's over, the test are largely fake and they haven't even isolated 'the virus' yet. TimeToGetReal

FakeNews

Close them, take away only

Judging from the restaurants I've seen, it's not just bars and taverns, people just don't care, the more careless we are, the quicker we will need another lockdown.

Not true!!

Second wave? I've been waiting 2 weeks since March for The Storm ™

A second wave? Shouldn't there be a first one? Or was that the flu season that just past?

Just close them down

How so with all the alcohol. Something isn't making sense regarding sanitizers then?

The same scientist that predicted 300k deaths by August. Take their advise and ban the sale of booze, cigarettes and Woolworths chicken. VoetsekRamaPhosa VoetsekANC

Ag kak man.

The only country that will get this in high summer - odd that
