Sitting at Home
Using the Labour Force Survey 2019 Q4, the information available regarding who will be allowed to go to work during the lockdown, and some educated guesswork, roughly 13.1m employed South Africans will be staying home during the 21 day lockdown. Of those at home, 2.3m (17.5%) should be able to work from home leaving 10.8m employed South Africans unable to work for 3 weeks. (Labour Force Survey – 2019 Q4, https://bit.ly/2Unf8ep)
