As calls mount to do away with the National State of Disaster, President Cyril Ramaphosa says new health regulations that are meant to replace the lockdown regulations have been published.
The President said public consultations with leaders from different sectors of society are underway and that he will address the nation on the process in the coming days.
The President said this when he responded to oral questions in the National Assembly on Thursday.

Government is calling for public comments to allow the public to have meaningful input into the decision-making process after it extended the National State of Disaster with another month.
