[Thread] JUST IN:
1. @healthza has confirmed that #JoePhaahla has repealed regulations 16A, 16B + 16C in section 90 of the National Health Act. What does this mean?
In short:
1. No masks
2. #COVID19 gathering rules = dropped
3. COVID entry requirements into SA = dropped

2. What does regulation 16 A say?
- You must wear a mask indoors
- You must wear a mask when using public transport

This has been repealed, so you no longer:
- Have to wear indoor masks
- Have to wear masks when using public transport

3. What does regulation 16 B say?
- You need to be vaxxed 4 certain gatherings/produce proof you tested negative 4 #COVID19
- There are nr limits on people attending a gathering if = not vaxxed/test negative

This has been repealed, so these rules 4 gatherings = no longer valid.

4. What does regulation 16C say?
People of 12+ entering SA must:
- Produce a #COVID vax certificate OR
- Produce a - (neg) PCR/antigen COVID test result

The rules have been repealed, so travelers no longer have to:
- Produce a vax certificate/- test result in order 2 enter SA
