“The current protocols are extended to October 15 so on that basis there is nothing to share with the family.”“Cabinet approved that the country should remain on Alert Level 3 of the national response to the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said.
“Cabinet appeals to parents, learners and school governing bodies to ensure strict adherence to the wearing of masks, ventilation, social distancing and hand-washing hygiene. “We are not very much disturbed by that number. We want a better number than that,” he said, adding that “there was an improvement since the young people we allowed to vaccinate”.“If you want to liberate the economy which is not doing nicely, it is very critical for freedom of movement in South Africa to be realised quickly and vaccination is the route to go, so that we actually lift those who are poor, deal with inequality and put our economy on track,” he said.
