President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Monday that the National State of Disaster would be lifted from midnight.

A number of restrictions will continue for 30 days before the government consults other legislation to guide its response to the pandemic:

• The restrictions that the President announced recently will remain in place for 30 days under the regulations published.
• Masks are still mandatory for indoor public spaces.
• Gatherings are limited to 50% of a venue’s capacity provided attendees can show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.
• Travellers to South Africa need proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test or will be required to have an antigen test and undergo 10-day isolation if they test positive.
