- Mandatory vaccination policies will need to be carefully considered by South African companies.
- Employees can refuse to be vaccinated on constitutional or medical grounds.
- It's the responsibility of the employer to provide alternatives that ensure the worker remains employed while limiting contact with other colleagues.
- This includes allowing the employee to work from home or outside of regular hours.
- If contact with other employees is unavoidable, the worker refusing the jab may be required to wear an N95 mask while at work.
I guess they can't find masks that are big enough for banks and wine farms.
Sorry for your loss Adelphi. I suppose there comes a time when we all get a bit grumpy and stuck in our mind set but I think misinformation and social media are as much to blame for loss of life than anything else.
The couple that lives behind is I judge is in their 70s. Also refused to take the jab because of some nonsense their children told them.
Currently there are 3 units in our complex under quarantine with positive cases and they lost a close friend as well. So last week they decided to go get the jab in secret.
I think the more people get the jab the sceptics will realise that its for the better and end up going themselves.
My folks both got the jab already. But with me they didn't really have a choice.
Kudos to them for getting the jab, but isn't it a sad state of affairs that they felt obliged to get in secret! I wish my parents had been so scared of their children
My mom is going to go tomorrow. She wanted to go when it opened for the over 60’s but she had yet another eye surgery so was told to wait till that healed.
what is the time frame till they open it up for the rest of us who want to get it?

["adhere" being the operative word. The ear-loops on my masks keep breaking off from the mask itself. I now have a pile of masks and a tube of Sticks Like Shit. Guess what's on the agenda tomorrow?]

Recently, I said that in my town one never sees people without masks. Never say never.
This evening I went to a well-known restaurant to deliver something. I wouldn't expect the patrons to be masked, as they are eating and drinking. However, I would expect the owner, who was behind the bar, to be masked.
I wonder ... does he think the bar will protect him?

Long wait till November for me.
Only in South Africa would it be possible to have 11K new cases but only 8K active cases.

There’s a problem with that first table unless @Paul33 can explain
Me I can’t explain. I found it on a Facebook page, thought it was informative. My bad.
The person who’s compiling the stats is making a big mistake with “past 24 hours active cases”… it doesn’t work like that.
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but they are already far behind schedule. Will see if they start the 40-year olds next month. But with all the setbacks lately I'm sceptical yet hopefull.
