Welcome Message
June 2020
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the South African Embassy website.
It is exactly 10 weeks since the South African Government declared a national state of disaster in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Since then, South Africa was forced to implemented unprecedented measures in order to save lives, including a nation-wide lockdown, to contain the spread of the Corona virus.
While the nation-wide lockdown has been effective, it cannot be sustained indefinitely. South Africa introduced the five-level COVID-19 alert system to manage the gradual easing of the lockdown.
This risk-adjusted approach is guided by several criteria, including the level of infections and rate of transmission, the capacity of health facilities, the extent of the implementation of public health interventions and the economic and social impact of continued restrictions. It is on the basis of these criteria that Cabinet has determined that the alert level for the whole country should be lowered from level 4 to level 3 with effect from 1 June 2020. Read More..
