The Department of Health has reiterated the importance of COVID-19 vaccinations in efforts to keep the spread of the virus low.

CAPE TOWN - Phaahla said their decision to repeal the last remaining COVID-19 safety protocols has received full support, including from the presidential coordinating council as well Cabinet.

A decline in the severity of the Omicron infection surge has prompted leaders to reassess the need for COVID-19 safety measures. Phaahla has, however, emphasised the value in vaccination: “The COVID-19 virus is still around, it is not gone.” He has urged more people to come forward for their coronavirus jabs: “Going forward, the vaccination programme will remain and is now being integrated into the normal health services as part of our primary health services.”WATCH: Health Minister: If a facility wants you to wear masks, it's up to them
