Five ways lockdown Level 3 is an improvemen­t

-

The eased restrictio­ns on lockdown Level 3 include:

Helpers will be able to return to work

After much confusion under Level 4 about whether helpers were allowed to go to work, under Level 3 helpers are part of the group of workers allowed to return.

This is great news as many parents struggled to juggle work, chores and childmindi­ng during Level 4 and 5.

Your local takeaway will now be allowed to rate for drive-thru and pickups

Mothers everywhere are tired of preparing three meals a day, with snacks in between.

Others are not happy about the delivery fees.

So Level 3 comes with great news. Mothers won’t be chained to the stove as much after that long workday.

Curfew regulation­s will be lied

The national curfew will be lifted so you won’t be stopped and questioned when you are taking your child to the hospital emergency room at night.

You can jog throughout the day

You can now go for a run, which is also much needed alone time, during all daylight hours, and not just the morning and afternoon windows allowed on Level 4.

Level 3 allows you to jog from 6am to 6pm. So, if you need some time out from the house, you can jog without breaking rules.

Children will be allowed to travel between provinces

As schools are set to open on 1 June, Level 3 regulation­s will enable children and teachers who need to get to another province to do so. So if your child attends school in a different province, or is currently visiting, they can move around inter-provincial­ly.
