South Africa’s acting minister of communications and digital technologies, Jackson Mthembu has published a directive that revises the coronavirus regulations for mobile networks, reports BusinessTech. It deletes a number of requirements introduced by the Department of Communications on 26 March when the country entered lockdown.
Extract:
Major amendment relates to tracking and tracing people who have contracted the coronavirus, or who had come into contact with someone who has had it.
