Salba urges government to use ‘science and logic’ to handle Omicron

The South African Liquor Brandowners Association (Salba) has written to the National Coronavirus Command Council expressing concern about the rise in Covid-19 infections and calling on the government to apply a science-based approach and not rush to a “knee-jerk” response as it has in the past. From the available evidence – statistical and from frontline healthcare workers – the fourth wave of Covid-19 does not warrant “destructive and unscientific restrictions”, Salba says in a statement. These restrictions include limiting or the outright ban of alcohol sales.
