Schools, booze and fake news: 8 new regulations in 1 graph

The government has gazetted regulations in line with president Cyril Ramaphosa declaring a national state of disaster on Sunday.

Cooperative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma signed off on the regulations on Wednesday.

The regulations impact on the sale of alcohol, refusing medical treatment and the spreading of fake news.

South Africans, meanwhile, have taken to social media to speak about their experience with self-isolation, the imposed regulations and concerns about the growing number of Covid-19 cases.
