| Ten facts about Freedom Day |
Under normal conditions, Freedom Day is a public holiday to celebrate and commemorate the first post-apartheid elections held on April 27, 1994.
Freedom Day during Level 5 Lockdown seems like an oxymoron.
Perhaps it’s the public holiday…or Midlands weather – cold and wet – or the Lockdown Blues… or Trump Fatigue…or that we've blown passed 3 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 - one third of which are in the US ....that makes today’s post shorter than usual.
Before closing, this US state-by-state guideline may help you plan your day.
Regarding my homestate of California, Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state is not prepared "to open up large sectors of our society" but made the first modification to the state's stay-at-home order with the resumption of "essential" surgeries.
“Tumors, heart valves, the need for people to get the kind of care they deserve," Newsom said. "If it’s delayed, it becomes acute. This fundamentally is a health issue.You go, Gav!
The guidelines became effective immediately.
Meanwhile, San Diego announced April 24 that beaches could reopen for various forms of exercise beginning at sunrise on April 27. Boardwalks, piers, and parking lots remained closed; gatherings were still banned and beachgoers should maintain social distancing and wear a face covering, the city said.
On a bright note
