Johannesburg – Cabinet has approved several changes to the adjusted alert Level 1 of Covid-19 regulations.
These changes are based on the trajectory of the pandemic and the levels of vaccination in the country.
People who test positive with no symptoms will no longer be required to self-isolate. However, those who test positive and show symptoms, the isolation period has been reduced from 10 to 7 days.
Contacts do not have to isolate unless they develop symptoms.
Meanwhile, schools will return to full-time learning and the 1m social distancing has been scrapped.
Cabinet said the rationale for these amendments is informed by the proportion of people with immunity to Covid-19 which has risen substantially.
