We're happy to report that the Covid situation in SA is looking very positive currently. Here is a quick update:
1. Our second wave is definitely over, according to the most recent stats and the number of daily cases recorded. Currently there is approximately 1,000 new cases per day, down from 20,000 cases during the peak of the 2nd wave.
2. SA has now moved to Level 1 since 1st March 2021 which means pretty much everything is opened, with the exception of clubs. Curfew is now only between midnight and 4am. Bars, restaurants and beaches are opened, and alcohol can be bought easily without restrictions. In public spaces mask-wearing remains required.
3. Vaccines have arrived in SA and is being administrated to the most vulnerable people first. More vaccines have been ordered and will arrive in the coming weeks.
4. Main airports like Cape Town, Durban or Johannesburg airports are opened for domestic and international travel. A 72-hour valid PCR test is mandatory to enter the country.
5. The Travel Cafe is open for business and has seen an increase in requests for quotes from locals Saffas who want to travel within the country and few international requests from people who want to be ready to travel when they can travel again. And, since business is quieter than usual, we also use our time to test some activities that we never had time to do before Covid, like renting beautiful Dutch-orange bicycle on the Seafront promenade This is a perfect activity in Cape Town for families or individuals.
