Alcohol advertising to be reduced

South Africa’s alcohol industry plans to reduce advertising and stop events in a bid to curb the country’s second coronavirus wave. In a joint statement today from the South African Liquor Brand-owners Association and other associated groups, the industry says that it supports government’s measures to reduce the spike in coronavirus infections. At the same time the Restaurant Association of South Africa says it has been asked to survey the position of each restaurant regarding on-site alcohol sales, and outline the measures they will put in place to increase the level of compliance to COVID-19 prevention protocols in establishments.
