Here’s how SA is getting ready to lift lockdown - Covid-19 strategy insider

For a chilling picture on what the Covid-19 containment plan is doing to South Africa, listen to B4SA and Brand South Africa heavyweight Stavros Nicolaou. He pulls no punches, pointing out that for the economy there is “no good news, only degrees of bad news”. From a health perspective, a spike in Covid-19 cases and deaths will come, too, warns Nicolau. He is Aspen Pharmacare Group’s Senior Executive responsible for Strategic Trade Development and is involved in national strategic discussions on screening and testing for Covid-19 as well as efforts to procure the personal protective equipment necessary to protect medical personnel and others on the frontline. His message to BizNews editor-in-chief Alec Hogg in this podcast is that lockdown should lift soon as the country’s leaders address both the health and economic challenges, albeit unevenly. - Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices.
