The South African government has unveiled initial details of its risk-adjusted approach for resuming economic activity and easing restrictions imposed as part of a hard lockdown, which was instituted on March 26 to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on April 23 that South Africa would adopt a model that included five levels, with Level 5 representing a hard lockdown and Level 1 a situation whereby most economic and social activities were able to resume, albeit with ongoing health precautions.
