Stop gatherings, encourage work-from-home policies and maintain current level three lockdown restrictions while accelerating vaccine rollout, liquor industry proposes, as alternatives to a total booze ban.

The alcohol industry also said a total ban of sales in Gauteng, which is facing a storm of infections, could encourage interprovincial travel to surrounding provinces like the Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West at a time when this should be kept to a minimum.

Registered micro alcohol producers be allowed to continue to operate as per the current level 3 restrictions. The industry said it also supports the call for employers to implement a work from home principle wherever it is possible. “We will be encouraging all players within our value chain — who collectively support one million jobs — to implement the work from measures as much as it is possible.”
