January 4, 2022: -On Thursday, South Africa lifted midnight to 4 a.m. curfew on movement with immediate effect as it is known that the country has passed the peak of its fourth Covid-19 wave driven by the Omicron variant, a cabinet statement said.<\/p>

South Africa, which is at the lesser of its five-stage Covid-19 alert levels, made the changes based on the trajectory of the pandemic, levels of vaccination in the country, and available capacity in the health sector.<\/p>

Besides lifting the restrictions on public movement, the government said gatherings would be restricted to over 1,000 people indoors and not over 2,000 people outdoors.<\/p>

It has ruled that alcohol shops with licenses to operate beyond 11 p.m. (2100GMT) may revert to full license conditions, a welcome boon for traders and businesses hard reached by the pandemic and looking to recover in the festive season.<\/p>

“While the Omicron variant is very much transmissible, there has been lower rates of hospitalization than in the last waves. This means that the country has a spare capacity for admission of patients even for routine health services,” the cabinet said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
