​

Answer 1

Two intervention strategies that were implemented by the South African government during COVID lockdown are mentioned below:

Explanation:

• As the COVID 19 prevailed, the government of South Africa shifted its budget to providing healthcare and food in the lockdown period. The changes made in the budget allowed more money to be given to healthcare institutes and the poor.

• The Government also increased the social grants so that people do not die of poverty. This increase in social grants were accepted happily by the local people as they could survive through this money in the lockdown period.
