24 December 2021 - NW2778
Msane, Ms TP to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
What are the reasons that the Republic and Southern African Development Community are not putting the United States of America and some European nations on the red list due to their high levels of COVID-19 infections?
Reply:
The response sought falls within Cabinet’s broader Covid-19 containment risk adjusted strategy decision making. The department does not make the decisions on which countries are placed on the red list. Cabinet will make announcements on relevant covid-19 containment measures as and when it becomes necessary.
