Health minister Dr Joe Phaahla says various departments are ‘working on alternative measures’ to replace regulations related to the National State of Disaster which could be presented to the National Coronavirus Council as early as next week.
“The National Health Department is leading in that regard. We are working on our health regulations, making sure that we have enough protection measures through the National Health Act and its regulations to replace the Disaster Management Act. Minister Phaahla said the older population has “come forward in big numbers” to vaccinate and he encouraged the youth to do the same.
“There are very promising signs. Over this week, we have seen a little bit of a rise over the last few days from just over 70,000 to just a little bit under 90,000. So it looks like the campaign by young people is gaining ground,” Phaahla said.
