China News Service, April 27, according to the WeChat public account of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, South African President Ramaphosa announced on the evening of April 23 that South Africa will reduce the level of prevention and control from the current five levels from May 1 Up to the fourth level, it is allowed to resume some economic activities under the premise of taking special prevention and control measures. During this period, companies that are allowed to resume operations can resume work in stages, and employees must take up jobs in batches. All employees are not allowed to resume work. Encourage the adoption of home office mode as much as possible. In addition to the withdrawal of overseas Chinese, international passenger flights will continue to be closed, prohibiting inter-provincial personnel movement. Public transportation will continue to operate under the premise of adopting health prevention and control measures and limiting passenger capacity. Cigarette sales are allowed, but convention centers, bars, movie theaters, theaters, concert halls and other entertainment venues will continue to be closed, and concerts, sports events, religious gatherings, cultural and social gatherings and other gatherings are prohibited.

　　The downgrade of the ban measures is conducive to the return of production and life to normal as soon as possible, but it does not mean that the risk of the current epidemic has been reduced. At present, South Africa has found confirmed and suspected cases of Chinese citizens. With the gradual recovery of local economic and social activities, the risk of the spread of the epidemic in certain areas and populations may increase. The Chinese Embassy in South Africa once again reminds the vast number of overseas Chinese in South Africa that they must fully understand the specific content of the ban policy, make unremitting efforts to strictly implement various control regulations, and highly consciously cooperate with the South African government's anti-epidemic actions.

　　1. Pay attention to the time node of ban and demotion. The ban and downgrade will be implemented from May 1st, so it is still in the fifth level of ban, except for related public services and necessary security personnel, all other personnel must be strictly at home. The majority of overseas Chinese are expected to be patient and continue to strictly abide by the ban.

　　2. Pay attention to the geographical scope of the ban and downgrade. It is understood that South Africa will implement different levels of embargoes according to different epidemic situations in various regions. Cities with severe epidemics, such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Buffalo, Mangaung, may still implement a five-level ban. Please pay attention to the specific notice of the local government department in time.

　　3. Pay attention to the industry scope of ban and downgrade. Under the four-level ban, tobacco sales will be allowed, but alcohol sales are still not allowed, and the Yugoslav government will continue to enforce laws strictly. Please consciously abide by the relevant regulations and put an end to all acts of selling or privately reselling drinking alcohol.

　　4. Pay attention to the adjustment mechanism of ban and downgrade. According to the Yugoslav government's instructions, after the implementation of the downgrade on May 1, the Yugoslav government will simultaneously evaluate the effects of the policy. If the epidemic situation deteriorates by then, it will be reverted to the fifth level.

　　5. Pay attention to the supplementary regulations on ban and downgrade. At present, the relevant government departments of South Africa are successively promulgating specific policies under the fourth-level ban measures. On April 25, the South African Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs announced that South Africa will impose a curfew on the forthcoming fourth-stage epidemic prevention stage on May 1. Except for the essential workers, all people in South Africa are not allowed to leave the place of residence between 8pm and 5am. Please pay close attention to the official news released by the local authorities, consciously cooperate with the implementation of the ban measures, work together, and safe the epidemic.
