The new regulations for Level 4 lockdown, announced by president Cyril Ramaphosa last night have been gazetted and many businesses must close their doors from today, until at least 11 July.

These include gyms and fitness centres, casinos, museums, libraries, archives and galleries, auctions, theatres and cinemas and many more.

Flea markets and bazaars have also been banned. Hotels, lodges as well as bed and breakfast may only operate at 50% of capacity, and they may only offer room service and delivery of food.

The new regulations state that schools and higher education institutions must be closed for contact classes from Wednesday. Early childhood development centres can however, remain open.

All gatherings are prohibited except for funerals, workplaces and shopping. Travel in and out of Gauteng for leisure purposes is prohibited. There’s also a ban on alcohol sales.
