Almost a month since its introduction, the enforcement of the vaccination requirement for access to public spaces remains inconsistent, with some places ensuring that it is a prerequisite for entry, while others have adopted a relaxed approach or not moved to enforce it all or have.
The contentious requirement was introduced on September 4 among the COVID-19 Emergency Measures, which have since been extended for October.
The measure stipulates that only vaccinated persons could immediately access public buildings and spaces, while the unvaccinated would have to make an appointment and present a negative PCR test result. However, the latest measures, which were gazetted last Thursday indicated that the requirement does not apply to persons wishing to access healthcare at any healthcare facility.
