STATEMENT BY HIS EXCELLENCY DR. HAGE G. GEINGOB ON THE OCCASSION OF THE 26th COVID-19 PUBLIC BRIEFING ON THE NATIONAL RESPONSE MEASURES
Good Afternoon Fellow Namibians,
As you know, the current dispensation which came into effect for a period of 36 days, will lapse at midnight tonight, 31 March 2021.
Therefore, as of midnight tonight, the following measures will apply, for a period of thirty (30) days until 30 April 2021:
1. Restriction on movement through a Curfew will remain in place from 22h00 until 04h00, daily.
2. Public Gatherings will increase from the current limit of 50 to 100, for both outdoor and indoor events.
3. Restaurants, bars and shebeens will be permitted to extend the trading hours for liquor up to 22h00, Mondays to Saturdays. The sale of alcohol on Sundays will remain prohibited.
Before I conclude, on behalf of the Republic of Namibia, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the two Asian countries, namely, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of India, for their usual South-South solidarity displayed in this moment of need, by donating 100,000 and 30,000 doses of the SINOPHARM and COVISHIELD vaccines to Namibia, respectively. Namibia thank you very much for this support.
