Health Minister Dr Joe Phaahla has extended the period for public comments on health regulations relating to the Surveillance and Control of Notifiable Medical Conditions and Environmental Health by three months with effect from Thursday, 5 May 2022.

The new closing date for submission of comments is 5th of July 2022, and this extension is in line with statutory requirements and will afford the department sufficient time to go through and consider all comments and representations on the regulations.

In order to ensure that there is no gap in terms of legal instruments to contain the spread of COVID-19 and future notifiable medical conditions, the department has gazetted the limited regulations for implementation with effect from Thursday, 05 May 2022. This does not apply to children at school. Again, under these limited regulations, no person may use any form of public transport unless wearing a face mask.

Alternatively, attendees must produce a valid negative COVID-19 test result not older than 72 hours prior to the date of the gathering. Alternatively, travellers have another option of producing a valid negative antigen COVID-19 test result performed by a medical practitioner, registered public health authority or accredited/approved laboratory obtained not older than 48 hours before the date of departure.

This is a clear abuse of power by CyrilRamaphosa & the MYANC government. Only if they were so energetic in fighting crime & unemployment as well..
