level 3 lockdown rules &#8211; What you can and cannot do"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the easing of lockdown regulations which will allow for the reopening of more industries and leisure activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I announced the country would be moving to alert level 3 from the 1st of June, I said we would be giving consideration to reopening other sectors of the economy,\u201d Ramaphosa said.<\/p>\n<p>This re-opening would, however, only be allowed if the necessary safety precautions could be put in place and maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Following discussions with industry representatives on stringent prevention protocols, cabinet has decided to ease restrictions on the following economic activities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Restaurants for sit-down meals<\/li>\n<li>Accredited and licensed accommodation, with the exception of home-sharing accommodation like Airbnb<\/li>\n<li>Conferences and meetings for business purposes and in line with restrictions on public gatherings<\/li>\n<li>Cinemas and theatres, to be aligned to limitations on the gathering of people<\/li>\n<li>Casinos<\/li>\n<li>Personal care services, including hairdressers and beauty services<\/li>\n<li>Non-contact sports such as golf, tennis, cricket and others<\/li>\n<li>Contact sports will be allowed only for training and modified activities with restricted use of facilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In each instance, specific and stringent safety requirements have been agreed on and will need to be put in place before a business can reopen.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa added that protocols will need to be strictly adhered to for businesses to remain open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnnouncements will be made in due course to detail these measures and indicate the date from which these activities will be permitted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"

closed, there are still a few restrictions which hold.<\/p>\n<p>The sale of tobacco products, including cigarettes and vaping products, remains prohibited under level 3.<\/p>\n<p>Social gatherings are still not allowed and where people are allowed to gather, like for workplace meetings and business events, there is still a limit of 50 people.<\/p>\n<p>The consumptions of alcohol in restaurants, bars, shebeens, and taverns remain prohibited under the new rules.<\/p>\n<p>Gyms and fitness centres also remain closed.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa did not mention anything regarding the movement of people, which means travelling between provinces, districts, and metropolitan areas is still restricted.<\/p>\n<p>International travel is not allowed, except for very specific purposes for which you need to make arrangements directly with the Department of Home Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Landlords may also still not evict a person from their land or home under level 3.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"
