Other countries require vaccination or be subjected to weekly testing. Health passes are required in a wide array of venues which include cinemas, bars, restaurants, gyms, trains and planes. The new rising question is “Will you be able to work on site if you have not been vaccinated?” Many countries have adjusted their new plan to fight COVID-19 and have approved bills imposing fines and making vaccination mandatory. For now, the evidence available to us shows that vaccine immunity lasts for six month thus government should be looking at administering booster jabs. The rise of new variants poses a problem for reaching herd immunity, because the more infectious the virus becomes, the more people need to be protected to stop it from spreading. South Africa has moved from herd immunity to a containment strategy. Government is looking to vaccinate 68% of the adult population by the end of the year, but we will not reach this target. The vaccine rollout started a bit slow but currently the system is working, and we can only hope that we vaccinate as many people as possible in a short time. The new normal is not that normal to most of us, over 88 000 deaths have been reported in South Africa and currently we are 17th on the list of all counties for people who have contracted the Coronavirus.

Experts say that we can expect the 4th wave in December of this year. We have just moved out of the third wave of daily new infections which has lasted much longer than the first and second wave. The pandemic has changed our lives in many ways, both on a personal, relationship and financial level.īy now we all know someone who has either been infected with the Coronavirus or have lost a family member, friend, or a work colleague to the disease. Vaccination status certificates are being used in everyday life that we now call the new normal. It has been 18 months of lockdown, new words and phrases like family meeting, Microsoft Teams or Zoom? Work-from-home, jabs, beta and delta variants, vaxxers and anti-vaxxers.

We all got used to the instructions from government sanitise, maintain social distancing, and wear a mask over your mouth and nose in public areas.
