Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are particularly thankful to those sectors of society that have had to endure restrictions on their activities for some time. I speak here of religious communities of all faiths, which have been unable to worship and minister to the needs of their congregants as normal. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are able to ease these restrictions thanks to the efforts of all South Africans to adhere to the regulations and basic health measures. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
#Funerals remain restricted to no more than 50 people, and, as before, night vigils, after-funeral gatherings and ‘after-tears’ gatherings are not allowed. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is a criminal offence not to do so, and the managers of shops and restaurants as well as drivers of taxis and buses have a responsibility to ensure that their customers wear masks, and that the appropriate social distancing measures are in place. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Several important measures remain in place. It remains mandatory for every person to wear a face #mask that always covers their nose and mouth when in public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These measures will be reviewed in two weeks time depending on the state of the pandemic. We will also be providing further information on an approach to ‘vaccine passports’, which can be used as evidence of vaccination for various purposes and events. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The sale of #alcohol from retail outlets for off-site consumption will be permitted between 10am and 6pm from Monday to Friday.Alcohol sales for on-site consumption will be permitted as per licence conditions up to 10pm. Alcohol consumption remains prohibited in public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
All #gatherings will be limited to a maximum of 250 people indoors and 500 people 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
This means that: The hours of #curfew will now start at 11pm and end at 4am. Non-essential establishments like #restaurants, bars and fitness centres will need to close by 10pm. This is to allow their employees and patrons to travel home before the start of the curfew. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Based on these discussions, Cabinet has therefore decided that the country should be moved from Adjusted Alert Level 3 and placed on Adjusted Alert #Level2 with effect from tomorrow, Monday, 13th September 2021. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
With the decline of infections across all provinces, the Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19 has recommended an easing of restrictions on the movement of people and gatherings. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are therefore focusing our efforts on these provinces to understand what is driving these infections and what measures we need to take to bring them down. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The two provinces that stand out from the others are the Northern Cape and Free State, where the number of infections as a proportion of the population has remained relatively high for several months. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While the third wave peaked in Gauteng far earlier and declined far faster than in other provinces, there is now a marked decline across all provinces. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The average number of daily new infections over the last week is 29 per cent lower than the preceding 7 days, and 48 per cent lower than the 7 days before that. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Delta variant is far more transmissible than earlier variants and, because it infects far more people, placed a great strain on our health facilities. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When I last addressed the nation, we were heading towards the peak of the third wave of infections, which was being driven by the Delta variant of the virus. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is up to each and every one of us to convince our family, friends and co-workers that vaccination is safe and that it could save their lives. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Importantly, when we are vaccinated, we will be able to restore all our other critical health interventions and relieve the strain on our health workers. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When we are vaccinated, we will be able to return our economy to full operation and create the jobs that our country needs. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If we are all vaccinated, the sooner we can meet with friends and family, the sooner we can return to offices and other places of work. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The sooner we are all vaccinated, the sooner we can open up sports venues to spectators. The sooner we are all vaccinated the sooner we can welcome tourists to our beautiful country. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If many people are not vaccinated and remain vulnerable to infection, the chance of new and more dangerous variants emerging is far greater. That is why vaccines are currently the most potent weapon we have to fight this pandemic. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Although nobody can predict how the virus will mutate further, the scientific community has developed innovative ways of tracking the emergence of new variants. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I want to stress that the vaccination programme is open to all people in South Africa, whether or not they are South African citizens. It is important to bear in mind that this is a new virus that the world has never encountered before. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We now have more than 3,000 public and private vaccination sites across the country, and most private sites will vaccinate any member of the public for free whether you have health insurance or not. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fellow South Africans, There is now overwhelming evidence from hundreds of countries that vaccines are safe and provide strong protection. We have taken steps to make it easier for people to access vaccination wherever they are. https://t.co/VoytbewkJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
