南アフリカ ロックダウン、一か月目 [海外生活便り]
3月27日に始まったロックダウン、3週間の予定が危惧していた通り
2週間延び4月30日までとなりました。
今日で丁度ロックダウン開始から一か月経ったことになります。
では5月1日からロックダウンが終了かというのではなく
今迄のレベル5からレベル４に引き下げられるとの事ですが
（レベルがあったのは今回初めて知りました。）
内容を見ると個人的にはあまり変わらない生活を強いられる様です。
しかも状況次第では再びレベル5に引き上げられるとの事、
レベル1になる迄には長い期間がかかりそうです。
下記の表は判り易いですがですがこの後いくつかの変更がありました。
表が余り鮮明でないので参考のため追記します。
The South African government has revealed new details
about the easing of the lockdown in South Africa.
The COVID-19 lockdown will be eased from 1 May 2020 to “level 4”,
with certain industries allowed to reopen and certain activities allowed to take place.
Certain restrictions will remain in place from 1 May under level 4,
however, specifically:
•Travel between provinces will not be allowed, unless for work or funerals.

New business rules
Minister of Trade and Industry Ebrahim Patel said that under level 4,
more businesses will be allowed to operate in the country.
The level of economic activity which will be allowed to take place is
determined by how it will impact the spread of the coronavirus,
and how certain industries will be affected by remaining closed.
A curfew will also apply to certain businesses, and under level 4
this curfew is from 20:00 to 05:00.
