South African Police Minister Bheki Cele announces new measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus including a ban on the sale of alcohol after 6pm.
Premises selling alcohol must shut down, or can operate between 09:00 and 18:00 Mondays to Saturdays and by 13:00 on Sundays and public holidays provided there are no more than 50 people.
This would not only include taverns, Cele said, but any place that sold alcohol.
