\u201cThe vaccination roll-out to date has been disappointingly slow to such an extent that not even 1% of the population in Nelson Mandela Bay has been vaccinated,\u201d said Denise van Huyssteen, CEO of Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith 358 501 cumulative vaccinations administered as of 30 June in the province, the government needs to accelerate the process to ensure that more people receive their dosages. Additionally, this will help our local economy to return, much sooner, to increased levels of economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the Chamber, we strongly believe that the business sector would play a meaningful role in supporting government efforts with the acceleration of the vaccination roll-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also welcome the fact that the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium will soon be established as a vaccination site with plans to vaccinate 5 000 people per day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the new variant reportedly more easily transmitted, it has the potential to infect a large number of people and place a greater strain on the metropole\u2019s already overburdened public healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo this effect, as the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, we would like to make an appeal to all businesses to ensure they continue enforcing all required COVID-19 safety protocols to protect the health and safety of their employees and customers,\u201d said Van Huys-steen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot allow complacency to set in at this critical time when every possible effort needs to be made to prevent the spread of the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
