"More than 50 people attend some funerals, and that is not in line with the protocol. That's why the president took time to address the issue," he says.
He says there are those who continue to converge either townships or rural areas, "They continue to play soccer and do such things. And that contributes to the spread. There are those who continue to drink together in taverns and contribute to the spread."
