President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation last night following the Easter weekend holiday.
South Africa is staying on Alert Level 1, however Ramaphosa has introduced restrictions on sales from bottle stores over the long weekend.
The sale of alcohol for off-site consumption is prohibited on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Onsite sales of alcohol are allowed at restaurants, shebeens and bars up to 23:00 at night.
The curfew will be maintained at midnight from 04:00, and beaches, dams and parks will remain open
The number of people who can attend religious and other gatherings have been more than doubled to 250 people indoors and 500 outdoors.
Where the venue is too small to accommodate these numbers while allowing appropriate social distancing, no more than 50% of the venue capacity may be used.
