Level 4: Guide to surviving the weekend at home in Gauteng

Looking at the most recent Covid stats, staying home and indoors is probably your best bet for the weekend if you’re in Gauteng after President Cyril Ramaphosa placed us on alert level four.

In fact, we highly recommend it with our lifestyle guide for surviving this weekend and the days following indoors which focuses on staying home.

Remember when lockdown first began and we were all baking banana bread to pass the time? Maybe this weekend we can try and do the same with these three great recipes we’ve put together which include an indulgent, delicious looking recipe from Jamie Oliver.
