This document outlines South Africa's risk-adjusted approach to easing COVID-19 restrictions, which includes three systems: 1) An alert system to determine restriction levels nationally, provincially, and in districts based on virus spread and healthcare readiness; 2) An industry classification system to determine which sectors can return to work at each alert level based on risk and economic importance; 3) Enhanced public health measures for workplaces and public spaces, including screening, distancing, and hygiene protocols. The approach aims to balance fighting the virus with rebuilding the economy in a phased, evidence-based manner over the next 6-8 months.

A Sustainable Healthcare Emergency Management Framework: COVID-19 and BeyondHealth Catalyst
With an ever-changing understanding of COVID-19 and a continually fluctuating disease impact, health systems can’t rely on a single, rigid plan to guide their response and recovery efforts. An effective solution is likely a flexible framework that steers hospitals and other providers through four critical phases of a communitywide healthcare emergency:
Prepare for an outbreak.
Prevent transmission.
Recover from an outbreak.
Plan for the future.
The framework must include data-supported surveillance and containment strategies to enhance detection, reduce transmission, and manage capacity and supplies, providing a roadmap to respond to immediate demands and also support a sustainable long-term pandemic response.

The Republic of Korea reported its first COVID-19 case on the 20th of January 2020. Since then, the country has reported 34,201 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 526 deaths. The Republic of Korea’s COVID-19 response is characterized by its swift and broad 3Ts (test – trace – treat) strategy. Measures taken by the country demonstrate a collaborative effort between ministries, across levels of governance, with a focus on the implementation of essential public health measures to prevent and manage COVID-19 cases in the country. Systematic public health measures such as maintaining physical distance, with limited restrictions on mobility, strong health communication, rigorous implementation of isolation and quarantine measures, as well as monitoring and surveillance were key to containing the outbreak in the country.
The report presents the various policies and steps that were put in place from the beginning of the outbreak to control COVID-19 transmission in the country.

Role of Audit in Economic Recovery-Post Pandemic-SAI IndiaAsosaiJournal
The coronavirus recession also known as the Great Lockdown or the Great shutdown is a severe global recession since Great Depression 1929-30. It has resulted in shutdown of many businesses like aviation, automobile, hospitality, rail transport etc. causing massive job losses world over.
The Minister of Cooperative Governance, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma briefed the media on the gazetted regulations relating to the COVID-19 Level 2 restrictions.
Physical distancing and restrictions on leisure and social activities to prevent a resurgence of the virus.
Alert level 2 will be in place from 18 August 2020.
South Africans have been encouraged to stay at home if they can and, if possible, to work from home, especially if they are over the age of 60 or have underlying conditions.
The following changes will take effect under level 2:
The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs #cogta, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, designated under Section 3 of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act No. 57 of 2002), signed and gazetted an amendment to the regulations for the advanced COVID-19 Alert Level 3 Lockdown.
The regulations were gazetted by the Minister after consultation with other Cabinet members. The amendments include changes to the curfew times, the return of both contact and non-contact professional sports and further opening of the tourism sector.
The curfew is between 22h00-04:00 under level 3, updated to allow movement for the purpose of the provision and procuring the services permitted in these regulations. Under these amendments, Intra-provincial accommodation for Leisure is also permitted.
These amendments will clarify and strengthen the application of the regulations relating to government’s measures to reduce the risk of infection and the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus while maintaining the integrity of the enhanced level 3 regulations.
The purpose of these Directions is to regulate the once-off movement of persons who were not at their place of residence or work before the lockdown period and who could not travel between provinces, metropolitan or district areas during the lockdown; and are permitted in terms of regulations 16 (5), on a once-off basis, to return to their place of residence or work.

2. INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 crisis presents an unprecedented challenge, unmatched
since the Spanish Flu and the Great Depression. The latter decimated
over 300 000 South Africa’s Population.
Feeling overwhelmed? Approach coronavirus as a challenge to be
met, not a threat to be feared” – Bethany Teachman
It also presents an opportunity for South Africa to accelerate the
implementation of some long agreed-upon structural changes to enable
reconstruction and growth.
These will positively impact on key economic and social sectors which
will facilitate a more inclusive economy whilst unlocking local production
and export potential.
This will require that South Africa sequences and phases its priority
areas with a view to deepening the fight against COVID-19 whilst
rebuilding the economy.
2
3. INTRODUCTION
The risk-adjusted approach was developed through collaboration between
the economic cluster departments and the Department of Health. We have
taken into account comments made by business organisations, political
parties, union and commentators.
This proposal takes into account the advice of the Ministerial Advisory
Committee that the high-point of the virus spread is likely to be in
September, which requires a proposal that covers the next 6-8 months.
3
5. THREE SYSTEMS ARE ENVISAGED.
• SYSTEM 1 An alert system to determine the level of
restrictions in place nationally, in provinces and in
districts
• SYSTEM 2 An industry classification for readiness to
return at each level based on criteria, together with
restrictions that should remain after the lockdown
regardless of the alert level
• SYSTEM 3 Enhanced public health and social
distancing arrangements at workplaces and public
spaces (including schools and Higher Education
institutions that may reopen during the pandemic
period)
5
6. SYSTEM 1
Alert system for the country, provinces and districts
Level
5
High virus spread and/or low health
system readiness
Full lockdown
Level
4
Moderate to high virus spread with low to
moderate readiness
High restrictions
Level
3
Moderate virus spread with moderate
readiness
Moderate restrictions
Level
2
Moderate virus spread with high
readiness
Reduced restrictions
Level
1
Low virus spread with high readiness Minimum restrictions
6
7. SYSTEM 1
Alert system for the country, provinces and districts
On what basis will the alert level be determined?
For community transmission, two indicators are considered:
• Rate at which the proportion of the population tested (testing coverage)
is increasing (higher is better)
• Rate at which the proportion of positive tests is increasing (lower is
better)
For health care capacity, two further indicators are considered:
• Rate of increase in fixed and makeshift hospital beds in both public and
private sectors per 1000 population (higher is better)
• Rate at which the proportion of hospital beds being utilized for Covid-19
is increasing (lower is better)
All 4 measures are measures that change over time ie. They are not static
measures but rather they are dynamic changes occurring over a period of
time (eg. per week) and will influence the level at which the country, a
province or a district will be classified.
7
8. SYSTEM 2
Industry classification for readiness to return at each alert level
In order to identify and sequence the possible priority economic areas
which will require easing post the lockdown period, an alert system has
been developed which considers the following criteria:
(1) Risk of transmission
(2) Expected impact on the sector should the lockdown continue;
(3) Value (and economic linkages) of the sector to the broader economy
(including its contribution to the GDP, employment, multiplier effects, its
export earnings, supply-chain linkages and industrial policy goals); and
(4) The promotion of community wellbeing and the livelihoods of the most
vulnerable
Initially, return to work will be based on the national level, but will progressively
be expanded to provincial and district level, enabling workplaces to adapt to the
level of infection and healthcare readiness in their locality.
8
9. SYSTEM 3: ENHANCED PUBLIC HEALTH
A comprehensive system of public health and social-distancing arrangements
will be put in place, covering areas such as the following:
Industries are encouraged to adopt a work-from-home strategy where
possible, and all staff who can work remotely must be allowed to do so.
Workers above the age of 60, as well as workers with comorbidities, should
be offered a work-from-home option or remain on leave after engagement
with employers and the UIF.
Workplace protocols to be in place that would include disease surveillance
and prevention of the spread of infection, disabling contact biometric systems
or making them Covid-proof
Guidelines will be developed for public servants as well as correctional
facilities.
9
10. CONDITIONS OF RETURN TO WORKPLACE: SECTOR
In addition to generally applicable health and safety protocols, each sector must agree
upon a COVID-19 prevention and mitigation plan, approved by the Minister of Health
and any other Minister relevant to the sector.
Individual businesses or workplaces must have COVID-19 risk assessments and plans
in place, and must conduct worker education on COVID-19 and protection measures:
• Identification and protection of vulnerable employees
• Safe transport of employees
• Screening of employees on entering the workplace
• Prevention of viral spread in the workplace
• Hand sanitisers and face masks
• Cleaning of surfaces and shared equipment
• Good ventilation
• Shift arrangements and canteen controls
• Managing sick employees
Monitoring systems must be in place to (1) ensure compliance with safety protocols and
(2) identify infections among employees.
Mass testing should be carried out for workplaces over 500 workers.
