My friend who is involved with the National Security Cluster just give me the “wink” on this statement:

Cyril Ramaphosa set to lift the ban tonight - 16 September 2020 - 20h00



While borders and other points of entry will reopen under level one, government has decided to retain the ban on travellers from the US, UK, Spain and Italy – which are key markets for the revival of the tourism sector.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will tell the nation on Wednesday night that he is moving the country to Level 1 of the national lockdown and opening up international travel - with provisos.
Travel from high risk countries such as the United States and some of the major EU countries will remain banned.
Controversially, however, arrivals from India and Brazil – which have the second and third highest infection rates in the world – will be permitted.
People arriving from countries permitted into SA will have to produce a negative test result taken 72 hours before travel, which will grant them access without having to quarantine first.
According to top insiders who attended meetings of the Presidential Coordinating Council on Tuesday, Cabinet – which is meeting on Wednesday – is expected to endorse the decision to move to Level 1 of the lockdown and the resumption of international travel. The president would then address the nation afterwards.
