As South Africa combats Covid-19, the country’s response to managing the virus will come under increasing scrutiny. Already the calls are growing for an end to the lockdown while the government itself is standing by the rules it has implemented during lockdown.

When a ban is introduced it totally removes the choice from individuals and erodes public trust. At the core of the issue is a failure to create policy from a core set of guiding principles through which the country can successfully combat the spread of Covid-19. In the months to come, this will be critically important. In order to do this, government regulations must operate from two starting points that should dictate policy going forward. This involves creating an environment where you enable choice while ensuring people’s safety.
