Sorry to hear that @DavyH. It must be really tough for your wife. I hope your father-in-law makes a full recovery.
All the best wishes there under the sircumstances.
Now my daughter's class is under quarantine. It never stops.
I really wish they close the schools now. Or at least move the holliday to next week. I'm still standing by the fact that children aren't the main vehicle of transmission.
But parents need to know where we stand. Surely this stop-go-stop is not good for the kids either.
Also, during school holidays things tend to slow down slightly. And Gauteng desperately need a slowdown right now.

The government needs to impose an inter-provincial travel ban before the school holidays begin.

Thanks everyone for the wishes, we really appreciate it. We've both tested negative and a friend of ours who has been involved in vaccination testing from the outset will be going round to see Louise's father today. FIL has had his first vaccination which should ameliorate the symptoms in any event so we're very hopeful.
Two months later, only half of over-60s have registered for their Covid-19 vaccinations

"South Africa's self-registration vaccination portal was opened to citizens aged 60 and above in mid-April. Only half of the country's over 60s had booked their jabs by 22 June.
South Africa's slow vaccination rollout has been marred by procurement delays, supply constraints, and regulatory setbacks. The health department's plan to vaccinate some 40 million people – representing 67% of the population targeted for herd immunity – by early 2022 is far behind schedule.
Around 2.3 million South Africans – 3.87% of the total population – had received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by Wednesday 22 June. It's taken more than four months – at an average daily vaccination rate of 18,503 doses – to reach this point. Even at the peak rate, of around 85,000 daily doses, achieved in recent weeks, the pace of South Africa's rollout needs to increase by at least 40% to achieve herd immunity within the first half of 2022.
By the time Phase 2 of the rollout began on 17 May, more than 1.2 million senior citizens had already registered for their Covid-19 jabs through the Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) which had opened to those aged 60 and above a month earlier. The EVDS is crucial in monitoring the regional supply of vaccines, ensuring that an adequate amount of doses are delivered to sites according to the registration tally..."
