President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation on Sunday about the latest Covid-19 developments.

Ramaphosa touched on Covid-19 vaccine availability, moving to alert level 1 and the various changes that come with the easing of restrictions.

The address comes as SA had, by Saturday night, a confirmed tally of 1,512,225 Covid-19 infections countrywide and 49,941 confirmed Covid-19 related fatalities.

“The address follows meetings in recent days of the national coronavirus command council (NCCC), the president’s co-ordinating council (PCC) and cabinet,” the statement said.

Ramaphosa announced that SA has vaccines available and in the coming weeks and months, rollout plans, campaigns and programmes will be extended.
