President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed concern at the low number of youths who have taken the Covid-19 vaccine.
“It is vitally important that we get many more of our people between 18 and 35 vaccinated, and that is why we launched the #KeReady campaign last month,” he added.
This comes as government prepares to lift the state of disaster and was making more adjustments to the Covid-19 regulations. On Tuesday, Ramaphosa announced that masks were no longer mandatory outside and venues would be permitted to take 50% capacity, provided that those attending could produce Covid-19 vaccine certificates or recent negative Covid-19 tests.“Our most important defences against the disease are, first, vaccination and, second, the observance of basic measures, such as wearing masks indoors.

“The vaccine has been shown to significantly reduce severe illness. Statistics from our health facilities clearly show that people who are not vaccinated stand a higher chance of being hospitalised or dying from Covid-19. Vaccination is likely to reduce transmission at home and at places like schools and universities where there is close contact,” he added.
