Although local transmission of Covid-19 has increased this week — the rate of confirmed cases doubles about every two-and-a-half days to 116 on Wednesday — that’s nowhere near the infection rates which has seen countries like Italy, France and others go into lockdown.But compliance with the already announced measures is key to avoid the escalation of the national State of Disaster to a State of Emergency.Wednesday’s meeting between Ramaphosa and leaders of political parties represented at Parliament made it clear a State of Emergency remains a real possibility. 0000350854 00000 n 0000286092 00000 n 0000419119 00000 n As concerns the prerogative to declare a state of emergency, the three most common approaches are the following: • The executive declares the state of emer-gency and is obliged to inform parliament
