CR turbocharges Covid-19 vaccine roll-out; new deals, new priorities for SA. LISTEN!

In a televised address, SA President Cyril Ramaphosa announced measures to speed up vaccine roll-out, including buying more vaccines - and fast - and setting up 2,000 vaccination sites at public and private facilities. There will be an electronic system to register and direct individuals to vaccination appointments and undocumented individuals will also be brought into the system. President Ramaphosa said the government had decided to keep the restrictions at level one - because of the low rate of transmission - but there will be some tweaks with a view to containing the spread of the disease over the Easter weekend. These restrictions include a ban on alcohol sales at liquor stores. But restaurants and shebeens will be allowed to serve liquor. Listen to the full announcement here.
