Professor Barry Schoub, who chairs the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC) on Covid-19 vaccines, supports the call for tougher lockdown restrictions.
South Africa could soon face additional lockdown restrictions as a result of rising Covid-19 infections in the country.
The National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) will meet on Tuesday 25 May to discuss possible heightened lockdown measures, according to a report by News24.
The publication claims that the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC) on Covid-19 has recommended an adjusted Level 2 of lockdown.
Meanwhile, the chairperson of the MAC on vaccines - which is a separate advisory committee - Professor Barry Schoub, says he agrees that tighter lockdown measures are needed.
