We also know that the likelihood of the emergence of more severe forms of variants is increased significantly where people are not vaccinated. That is why we have joined many countries, organisations and people who have been fighting for equal access to vaccines for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is no scientific justification for keeping these restrictions in place. We know that this virus, like all viruses, does mutate and form new variants. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We call upon all those countries that have imposed travel bans on our country and our Southern African sister countries to urgently reverse their decisions and lift the bans they have imposed before any further damage is done to our economies. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The only thing the prohibition on travel will do is to further damage the economies of the affected countries and undermine their ability to respond to, and recover from, the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These restrictions are unjustified and unfairly discriminate against our country and our Southern African sister countries. The prohibition of travel is not informed by science, nor will it be effective in preventing the spread of this variant. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Countries that have imposed travel restrictions on our country and some of our Southern African sister countries include the UK, US, European Union members, Canada, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Oman, the UAE, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Seychelles, Brazil and Guatemala, among others. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The #G20 Rome Declaration noted the plight of the tourism sector in developing countries, and made a commitment to support a “rapid, resilient, inclusive and sustainable recovery of the tourism sector”. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They pledged at that meeting to restart international travel in a safe and orderly manner, consistent with the work of relevant international organisations such as the WHO, the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime Organization and the OECD. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is a clear and completely unjustified departure from the commitment that many of these countries made at the meeting of #G20 countries in Rome last month. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are deeply disappointed by the decision of several countries to prohibit travel from a number of Southern African countries following the identification of the Omicron variant. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This includes the requirement that travellers produce a vaccination certificate and a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of travel, and that masks are worn for the duration of travel. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Like most other countries, we already have the means to control the importation of variants to other countries. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are also working to ensure that oxygen supply is available to all beds earmarked for COVID-19 care. We will continue to be guided by the World Health Organization on international travel, which advises against the closure of borders. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To ensure our facilities are ready, all hospital beds that were available or required during the third wave of COVID-19 are planned and prepared for the fourth wave. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are focusing on effective clinical governance, contact tracing and screening, effective clinical care, availability of health personnel. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will also implement our national resurgence plan to ensure that hospitals and other medical facilities are ready for the fourth wave. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have started the process of amending our health regulations so that we can review the use of the Disaster Management Act to manage our response to the pandemic, with a view to ultimately lifting the National State of Disaster. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will then need to determine whether the existing measures are adequate or whether changes need to be made to the current regulations. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will closely monitor infection rates and hospitalisation over the coming days and will review the situation in another week. https://t.co/Nbh9Nizzqi — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The sale of #alcohol is permitted according to the regular licence conditions, but may not be sold during curfew hours. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The wearing of #masks in public places is still mandatory, and failure to wear a mask when required remains a criminal offence. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
No more than 100 people are permitted at a #funeral, and night vigils, after-funeral gatherings and ‘after-tears’ gatherings are not allowed. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
No more than 750 people may gather indoors and no more than 2,000 people may gather outdoors. Where the venue is too small to accommodate these numbers with appropriate social distancing, then no more than 50 per cent of the capacity of the venue may be used. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We should all remember that in terms of Alert Level 1 regulations: - There is still a #curfew in place from 12 midnight to 4 am. https://t.co/2ch2pLEvbl — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
However, this approach will not be sustainable if we do not increase the vaccination rate, if we do not wear masks, or if we fail to adhere to basic health precautions. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We also know that the coronavirus will be with us for the long term. We must therefore find ways of managing the pandemic while limiting disruptions to the economy and ensuring continuity. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
That is no longer the case. Vaccines are available to anyone aged 12 and above, free of charge, at thousands of sites across the country. We know that they prevent severe disease and hospitalisation. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In taking the decision not to impose further restrictions at this stage, we considered the fact that when we encountered previous waves of infection, vaccines were not widely available and far fewer people were vaccinated. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org

This was followed by meetings earlier today of the President’s Coordinating Council and Cabinet, where a decision was taken that the country should remain on Coronavirus Alert #Level1 for now and that the National State of Disaster should remain in place. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
