KwaZulu-Natal's tourism and hospitality industry is on the road to recovery with some leisure accommodation venues already booked to capacity.

This is according to premier Sihle Zikalala, who addressed the media on the province's latest Covid-19 statistics, and the move to level 1, at a briefing on Sunday.

Data presented by the premier showed that leisure venues in the Midlands were at a 95% occupancy rate while eThekwini metro and Ezemvelo KZN wildlife venues were sitting at 65% and 30% respectively. “The number of cases reported in the province has declined drastically. We must emphasise that we are still vigilant and on full alert. While regulations are being relaxed we are fully cognisant that the virus has not relaxed, it is still deadly and vicious,” said Zikalala.

With the country moving to level 1 on Monday, Zikalala expected all public services to be functioning at full capacity again.
