In his latest address to the nation, President Cyril Ramaphosa has confirmed that South Africa will move up to lockdown level 3.

Gauteng accounts for two-thirds of Covid-19 infections, and daily deaths have increased by 48%.

- Curfew now starts at 10pm, and ends at 4am.
- Non-essential establishments are required to close by 9pm.
- All gatherings have been limited to 50 people indoors and 100 outdoors, or 50% capacity, depending on the venue.
