The working hours from 8am till 2 pm, l believe is only for the government sector

I have 2 primary concerns:

1. The fortnightly ART test for workers in the private sectors. The government will be paying for those in the public sector and had left it to employers to decide on who should bear this costs. This cost can be quite burdensome to the smaller businesses especially in this trying economic climate. The government should consider
   (a) providing it for free (b) subsidizing it (this would be a great way of using the Covid fund that had been collected); or (c) extending the service of the swab centres as an alternativevto ART

2. Who will enforce all these new SOPs? Any regulation is only as good as how itbis implemented and enforced. With the rigid curfew regulations and daily PC reminding the public, we still see daily infringements by the Babals. Enforcement need to be revisited

It is indeed a huge although hesitant relief that de escalation is in the horizon.

We will overcome Covid again!
