Namibia: Masks and PCR tests no longer needed for this particular reason

The wearing of masks in public in Namibia and negative PCR tests for vaccinated visitors are no longer required, President Hage Geingob said on Tuesday, as active COVID-19 cases fall to just a couple of hundred.

Infections peaked at more than 30,000 per month in June 2021 but the southern African country has averaged 14 cases per day during the last seven days, with the total active cases at 222.

“Wearing of masks in public places is no longer mandatory,” Geingob said in a televised briefing.

People in closed spaces such as on public transport or in indoor public meetings were however encouraged to wear masks.
