Cape Town - The Western Cape government and the City of Cape Town have welcomed the partial reopening of the hospitality sector after the president’s address last night but they are calling for ramped-up vaccinations.
“The pace of vaccination has more than doubled in the last month, and will continue to increase. Presently, nearly 190 000 people are on average being vaccinated each week day. “Livelihoods in this sector are just as important as livelihoods in any other, and so this sector should be allowed to safely function, in line with clear guidelines.
“We note the announcement by President Ramaphosa to allow certain industries to reopen. This is a much-needed adjustment to the regulations as many businesses have been under severe strain.” The Western Cape government had developed significant vaccination infrastructure, Winde said, adding it was ready to boost vaccine roll-out further.
