The newly announced COVID-19 measure requiring unvaccinated persons to make an appointment before visiting a ministry or government agency has been met with mixed reactions, with some welcoming the decision while others have described it as unfair.
Several persons said that the measure is necessary and applauded the government for “finally” taking some action to stabilise the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic.
A businessman, Kirk Collette, said that it is unfortunate that persons are refusing to get vaccinated because of baseless conspiracy theories and misinformation about the vaccines on social media despite there being many credible platforms where persons can go to access information on the vaccine.
