Answers
Explanation:
The government instituted a lockdown from March 26 through April 16. (DMR § 11.) On April 9, President Ramaphosa extended the lockdown through the end of April. During this period, every person must remain confined in his or her place of residence and is not allowed to leave “unless strictly for the purpose of performing an essential service, obtaining an essential good or service, collecting a social grant, pension or seeking emergency, life-saving, or chronic medical attention.” (DMR § 11B.) All gatherings, except for purposes of attending a funeral (allowed only for a maximum of 50 persons), are banned. (DMR §§ 3 & 11B.) All business must remain closed for the duration except those engaged in “manufacturing, supply, or provision of an essential good or service.” (Id.) Retail stores permitted to stay open and sell essential items are barred from selling any other goods. (Id.) Also barred is travel between provinces and metropolitan and district areas unless it is for excepted persons and circumstances. (Id.) South African borders will remain closed except designated ports of entry for the purposes of transportation of fuel, cargo, and goods. (Id.) All commuter transportation services are suspended except for buses, taxis, e-hailing services, and private vehicles necessary for performing excepted activities. (Id. § 11c.) For vehicles permitted to be on the road during the lockdown, additional restrictions apply; for instance, public transportation sedans may only carry 50% of their permitted capacity, while minibuses and midi-buses may only carry up to 70% of their maximum licensed passenger seating capacity.
