As per the president's address last night, 15 June 2021, South Africa has been moved to risk adjustment level 3 as per the Disaster Management Act.
19 June 2021 will mark 1 year since the Personal Care Sector has been allowed to reopen and operate under sector-specific protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we recall, this reopening was during alert level 3.
It is important that we as an industry remain compliant and committed to adhering to the Personal Sector-Specific protocols. For your and your employees, suppliers, and client's reference and a reminder of the protocols, we have provided the published gazette of 19 June 2020 again.
Special attention needs to be given to clause 3.6.6.6 - Suspend the provision of all beverage and food amenities for customers. This is a question that is asked on a regular basis. We reaffirm that the serving of beverages and or food to clients are prohibited!
