  The President released a statement on the 1 st of June telling the people of SA that the rules of lockdown have been eased a little bit. The sale of alcohol was resumed and people were now allowed to move around, go to work and some schools were reopened etc. What really came to my attention is that, after all those things the president said about easing up lockdown rules people started hosting house parties left right and centre and to my own understanding this kind of action could be the one that leads to the number of people getting affected by this pandemic increasing.
