Law enforcement will be stepped up in the coming days to enforce lockdown regulations

Gauteng Premier, David Makhura, says that law enforcement will be stepped up in the coming days to enforce lockdown regulations, especially in Covid-19 hotspots. He's also announced the re-opening of parts of the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg hospital which were not affected by the fire in April. Makhura and the Gauteng Covid Command Council addressed the media in Johannesburg. Gauteng accounts for 60% of the Covid-19 cases in the country with the test positivity rate standing at 37%, the highest since the outbreak of the pandemic. The province has also recommended a move to a hybrid mix of level 3 and 4 lockdown restrictions.
