Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fellow South Africans, The National Coronavirus Command Council met yesterday to consider the recent rise in infections and the possible impact of the Omicron variant. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Where gatherings do take place, all the necessary COVID protocols must be closely observed. Every additional contact we have increases our risk of becoming infected or infecting someone else. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Last year many of our young people attended these gatherings, and they proved to be centres of mass infections. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
End-of-year parties and matric year-end raves as well as other celebrations should ideally be avoided or postponed, and every person should think twice before attending or organising a gathering. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Mass gatherings such as major conferences and meetings, especially those that require a large number of people to be in close contact over extended periods, should be changed to virtual formats. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The fourth tool we have to fight the new variant is to avoid gatherings, particularly indoor gatherings. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When we are indoors with other people, or in cars, buses and taxis, we need to keep windows open to ensure that air can flow freely through the space. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The third tool we have to fight the new variant is the cheapest and the most abundant: fresh air. This means that we must try as much as possible to be outdoors when we meet people outside our household. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is now overwhelming evidence that the proper and consistent wearing of a cloth mask or other suitable face covering over both the nose and mouth is the best way to prevent the transmission of the virus from one person to another. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The second tool we have to fight the new variant is to continue to wear our face masks whenever we are in public spaces and in the company of people outside our households. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We realise that the introduction of such measures is a difficult and complex issue, but if we do not address this seriously and as a matter of urgency, we will continue to be vulnerable to new variants and will continue to suffer new waves of infection. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The task team will report to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Vaccination chaired by the Deputy President, which will make recommendations to Cabinet on a fair and sustainable approach to vaccine mandates. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Government has set up a task team that will undertake broad consultations on making vaccination mandatory for specific activities and locations. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines has already indicated that it will recommend a staged introduction of boosters commencing with the older population. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Pfizer has filed an application to the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority for a third dose to be administered after the two dose primary series. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Health care workers in the Sisonke trial, many of whom who were vaccinated more than six months ago, are being offered Johnson & Johnson booster doses. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
South Africa, like a number of other countries, is looking at booster vaccines for people who are at greatest risk and for whom a booster may be beneficial. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By getting vaccinated, we are not only protecting ourselves, but we are also reducing the pressure on our health care system and our health care workers and reducing the risks faced by our healthcare workers. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We need to be thinking about the people who have been courageous when we consider getting vaccinated. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They join the ranks of the health care workers who have been at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic for close on two years, and who continue to care for the sick, who continue to administer vaccines, and who continue to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They are the people who have proven that these vaccines are safe and effective. These people are our heroes. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The development of the vaccines we have against COVID-19 has been made possible thanks to the millions of ordinary people who have volunteered to participate in these trials to advance scientific knowledge for the benefit of humanity. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Vaccination is also vital to the return of our economy to full operation, to the resumption of travel and to the recovery of vulnerable sectors like tourism and hospitality. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Vaccination is by far the most important way to protect yourself and those around you against the Omicron variant, to reduce the impact of the fourth wave and to help restore the social freedoms we all yearn for. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Tonight, I would like to call on every person who has not been vaccinated to go to their nearest vaccination station without delay. If there is someone in your family or among friends who is not vaccinated, I call on you to encourage them to get vaccinated https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While this is welcome progress, it is not enough to enable us to reduce infections, prevent illness and death and restore our economy. Vaccination against COVID-19 is free. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Significantly, 57% of people 60 years old and above are fully vaccinated, and 53% of people aged between 50 and 60 are fully vaccinated. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is by far the most extensive health intervention undertaken in this country in such a short period of time. 41% of the adult population have received at least one vaccine dose, and 35.6% of adult South Africans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Vaccines do work. Vaccines are saving lives. Since we launched our public vaccination programme in May 2021, over 25 million vaccines doses have been administered in South Africa. This is a remarkable achievement. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The first, the most powerful, tool we have is vaccination. Since the first COVID-19 vaccines became available late last year, we have seen how vaccines have dramatically reduced severe illness, hospitalisation & death in South Africa and across the world. https://t.co/EpfT062cmt — PolitiTweet.org
