KNYSNA | BITOU NEWS - Knysna, Sedgefield, and Plettenberg Bay residents will once again have the full list of vaccination sites at their disposal this week as the country moves into lockdown level 2 from today.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced last night, Sunday 12 September, that the country would be moved from an adjusted level 3 down to level 2.
This brings eased restrictions on events and liquor sales and much more, along with the curfew being changed to fall between the hours of 23:00 and 04:00 every evening.
The eased restrictions come as the country slowly moves out of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been combatted for the past three months by a vaccination drive that gains momentum by the day.

When it comes to vaccine registrations, the province is edging closer to the two-million mark. As at Sunday 12 September, 1 938 027 people had registered to receive the vaccine. The Garden Route makes up 9,27% of these, with a total of 179 665 registrations.
