We’re now well into the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic and facing a third wave of infection. Whilst this most recent wave of infections appears to be more virulent, affecting more people, there is good news. The 2nd phase of the vaccine roll out is picking up pace, helped by the recent news that the Gauteng Department of Health will now allow walk-ins at all of its vaccination sites. Added to this is government’s roll- out of the vaccine to over half a million teachers and education support staff nationally. What’s important is that we all keep on keeping on. This too shall pass.
