The end of the National State of Disaster is a firm statement of our determination to live our lives and rebuild our country even as this virus remains in our midst. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is also a time to pay tribute to the health care workers, police, soldiers, volunteers and other frontline workers for their dedication and service during the worst times of the pandemic. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is a moment to remember those who have lost their lives and the many people who are still struggling with the effects of the disease. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fellow South Africans, The end of the National State of Disaster is an important milestone in our fight against the pandemic. It is a sign of the progress we have made together and a reminder of what our nation has endured. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The COVID-19 Vaccine Injury No-Fault Compensation Scheme, which is administered by the Department of Health, will continue after the National State of Disaster ends. The Scheme will only be terminated once it has achieved its purpose. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This Scheme was brought into force in April last year to provide quick and easy access to compensation to any person who suffers a serious injury because of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is one last measure that will outlive the National State of Disaster. This is the COVID-19 Vaccine Injury No-Fault Compensation Scheme. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As I have explained, these are transitional measures which will lapse after 30 days. This will allow the management of the pandemic to be dealt with, as appropriate, by the Health Regulations or other provisions. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The end of the National State of Disaster also means that the Coronavirus Alert Levels will no longer apply. The few transitional measures that remain are limited in scope, and allow almost all social and economic activity to resume as normal. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These include regulations on isolation of persons, on schools and access to old age homes, on public transport, on initiation practices, on cargo transportation, and on criminalisation of non-adherence to these rules. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fifthly, directions that provide for the extension of the validity of a learner’s licence, driving licence card, licence disc, professional driving permit and registration of a motor vehicle will remain in place. All other disaster regulations will fall away at midnight tonight. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fourthly, the directions that provide for the payment of the special R350 Social Relief of Distress Grant will remain in place. This will enable the Department of Social Development to finalise the regulations that will allow the payment of the grant to continue. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If a traveller does not submit a vaccine certificate or proof of a negative COVID-19 test, they will be required to do an antigen test on arrival. If they test positive for COVID-19, they will need to isolate for 10 days. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Thirdly, the existing provisions with respect to international travel remain in place. This means that travellers entering South Africa will need to show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Where there is no provision for proof of vaccination or a COVID test, then the current upper limit of 1,000 people indoors and 2,000 people outdoors will remain. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This means that both indoor and outdoor venues can take up to 50 percent of their capacity without any maximum limit, provided that proof of vaccination or a COVID test not older than 72 hours is required for entrance to the venue. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A mask is not required when outdoors. Secondly, the existing restrictions on gatherings will continue as a transitional measure. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Firstly, we will still be required to wear a face mask in an indoor public space. This is necessary to prevent transmission in high-risk places, especially while many people remain unvaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These transitional measures, which will automatically lapse after 30 days, are the following: https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
with the exception of a few transitional measures. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
What this means is that all regulations and directions made in terms of the Disaster Management Act following the declaration of the national state of disaster in response to COVID-19 are repealed with effect from midnight tonight, https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
…to ensure essential public health precautions and other necessary services are not interrupted while the new regulations in terms of the National Health Act come into effect. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Accordingly certain transitional provisions will remain in place for a period of 30 days after the termination of the National State of Disaster, https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Disaster Management Act provides that certain elements of the regulations may remain in place for a limited period for ‘post-disaster recovery and rehabilitation’. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Since the requirements for a National State of Disaster to be declared in terms of the Disaster Management Act are no longer met, Cabinet has decided to terminate the National State of Disaster with effect from midnight tonight. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Once the period for public comment closes on the 16th of April 2022 and the comments have been considered, the new regulations will be finalised and promulgated. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Going forward, the pandemic will be managed in terms of the National Health Act. The draft Health Regulations have been published for public comment. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While the pandemic is not over, and while the virus remains among us, these conditions no longer require that we remain in a National State of Disaster. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are seeing a similar pattern in our health facilities. Of the 108,000 regular beds in the country, only 1,805 are currently occupied by COVID-19 patients. Of the 5,600 ICU beds in the country, only 175 are occupied by COVID-19 patients. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
During the 3rd wave in July 2021, the highest average daily number of COVID-related deaths recorded was 420. In the 4th wave, in February 2022, the highest daily number of COVID-related deaths was 240. In the past week, this number has dropped to just 12. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
