Zambian authorities have announced that they have taken decisions to prevent all citizens who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus pandemic from accessing administrative buildings.
All civil servants should be able to show a proof of vaccination before being admitted to work, although this will be done in consultation with the unions.
The Zambian health Minister Sylvia Masebo said the country was rolling out a nationwide vaccination campaign targeting at least two million people by Christmas day.
These measures come amid a looming fourth wave of coronavirus infections and after the recent discovery of a new Covid variant cases in neighbouring countries.
