After consultations with religious leaders, the restrictions on congregational worship will be eased in a carefully managed way for alert level 3 from June 1, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Tuesday night.
Churches, mosques and synagogues may resume religious services as long as these are limited to 50 people or less, President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
While the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases now stands at 24 264 and the death toll at 524, the recovery rate is also increasing, according to the Health Ministry.
Dr Zweli Mkhize confirmed that the lockdown was being eased despite WHO stating that SA should wait for a decline in Covid-19 cases and a lower rate of infections.
