Formula One medical car driver Alan van der Merwe risks missing more races, after his absence from Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix, due to his decision not to get vaccinated for Covid-19

Van der Merwe, 41, and F1 doctor Ian Roberts tested positive independently for the coronavirus ahead of the race and did not travel to Istanbul, with the FIA's Formula E crew standing in.The South African said on Twitter it was the second time he had contracted Covid-19 and he had not been vaccinated for personal reasons.

“You need to comply with those requirements to enter the country and from that perspective the FIA obviously has to respect the country's requirements to get in, as will all the teams and everyone else.” “I am fully aware that I will potentially be less employable or that my freedom of movement will be restricted based on my choices,” he said on Twitter.

COVID-19 | Govt approves return of fans to sports eventsSpectators at sports events are permitted but limited to 750 persons or less for indoor venues and 2,000 persons or less for outdoor venues. Redicilious that the government only allow 2000 vaccinated fans in the stadium but rallies have been overcrowded without social distancing. This lame media does not even make a comparison and speaks on accountability. When are you speaking for the people Cricket pls 🙏 This doesn’t say anything about only fully vaxxed spectators….

Getting vaxxed against Covid-19 will not be mandatory by law: Joe PhaahlaThe government does not intend making Covid-19 vaccinations compulsory by law, health minister Dr Joe Phaahla said in response to a recent parliamentary question posed by the IFP. HealthZA PresidencyZA SAHRCommission the MEC of health in limpopo is way ahead as she has already said unvaccinated people will be declined health services access,she must also reject votes of the unvaccinated. That is good news for me, wether is a good thing to be vaccinated but the choice remain with me,if i did not infect you before you got vaccinated how is it possible to infect you after you were vaccinated and protected by that vaccine. This is one messed up country,we have ministers who are saying that vaccination it's not mandatory on the hand the president is applauding companies who are forcefully vaccinating their workers and actually promoting vaccination on the private sector ,it won't end well .

Don’t get you nikkers in a Knot There will be no excuse for not making molnupiravir a significant part of our struggle against Covid-19. Ivermectin was ignored, and look at the corpses of the delta variant! A welcome option to the much-vaunted vaccines.
