Ramaphosa on Tuesday said, he would err on the side of caution before placing the country under stricter Covid-19 lockdown when he returns to back in South Africa on Wednesday.
Speaking during a joint press briefing with his Senegalese counterpart Macky Sall at the presidential palace in Dakar, Ramaphosa said when he lands in the country he will be heading straight to a cabinet meeting.
“I arrive at 4am and walk straight into a cabinet meeting, where we are going to discuss a variety of issues and the national coronavirus command council still needs to meet before it makes recommendations to cabinet on how we should continue responding to the coronavirus”. He said.
Ramaphosa acknowledged that there is a surgence in infections “and therefore we need to be cautious about how we handle any measures we put in place. All that will be given due consideration once we are back in SA and receive a report from our health department and minister, as well as our national joint entity which looks at a whole range of issues, before we are able to act in any way”. Said Ramaphosa.
