Govt to issue vaccination certificates, says Ramaphosa
You will be issued with a certificate soon to prove your Covid-19 vaccination status.
President Cyril Ramaphosa last night placed the country on alert level 1, pushing the curfew back by an hour to midnight.
"The Department of Health will soon be rolling out a vaccination certificate, which will provide a secure and verifiable proof of vaccination,” he said during a national address from the Union Buildings.
“It can be used to facilitate travel, access to establishments and gatherings and other forms of activity that require proof of vaccination status.
"Our approach is informed by World Health Organization guidelines and is in line with international best practice."
Alcohol sales have returned to normal but aren't allowed during the curfew.
Larger public gatherings are permitted.
Ramaphosa encouraged us to get behind the Vooma campaign which starts on Friday and is aimed at intensifying the vaccine rollout on weekends.
"The Vooma Vaccination Weekends campaign will be a countrywide drive to encourage our people to get vaccinated."
"The Department of Health has identified priority districts in each province based on the number of unvaccinated people and the current vaccination coverage in each district.
"This will be the first Vooma Vaccination Weekend in a series of outreach programmes."
