2020-05-11Lockdown Day 46 1st walk to the beach during daily exercise allowance period (6am to 9am)
South Africa was in full lockdown Level 5 (21 days) from midnight 26 March until midnight 16 April 2020. This was then extended by 14 days until 30 April 2020 Only permitted to leave homes if > - essential service - essential medical needs - essential food supply From 1st May 2020 change to Lockdown Level 4 Permitted to leave home to exercise between 6am and 9am each day within 5km radius of residence. Have to wear a mask and practise social distancing. This screenshot of Google maps shows the route which I took for my 1st walk from my place of residence (Faerie Glen Estate) to our local beach lookout point (Lucien Beach) at Margate on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal Province, South Africa. The beach borders the Indian Ocean. It was an immense pleasure to breathe in fresh ocean air. Some regulations at Level 4 are proving to be extremely frustrating as we are NOT permitted to actually walk on the beach. Many people appear to be ignoring some aspects of the regulations. South Africa COVID 19 infections = 10015 deaths 194 as at 11 May 2020 First infection recorded 5 March 2020 (local person returning from a skiing holiday in Italy)
