Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu says the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) media briefing on Level 3 regulations will take place on Thursday.
Mthembu has moved to clarify that the second postponement of the regulations briefing was this time necessitated by President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Tuesday night that places of worship would be allowed to re-open under Level 3 of the national lockdown.
“We are now confident that come tomorrow, regulations for all sectors which will be operational under alert level 3, including the religious sector, will be made available tomorrow. These will give a concrete implementation plan for Alert Level 3” – Speaking to @Newzroom405

Ramaphosa said the NCCC had heard the calls of religious leaders and agreed that religious institutions could open under restrictions. These restrictions include proper hygiene measures being followed, congregants wearing masks and social distancing being followed.
