SA, which is contending with a massive upsurge in Covid-19 infections following the onset of the Omicron variant, is readying a mandatory vaccine policy and is set to implement it early next year, a senior labour union official said.

Broad agreement has been reached on the policy in the National Economic Development and Labor Council , although some details have yet to be ironed out.

SA has detected almost three million coronavirus infections and nearly 90,000 of those diagnosed with the disease have died - although excess deaths data indicates the actual toll is about three times higher. New cases have soared since last week as Omicron took hold in the country. “We are at a crucial turning point in our response to the pandemic. We cannot afford further restrictions on economic activity or the uncertain pendulum swings that have characterised lockdowns in the past.”
