“I have been commanded by His Majesty King Mswati III to express his concern about the havoc currently being wreaked by COVID-19 on the Nation and the world at large,” said Masuku.
“Following the E200M COVID-19 vaccine budget that he commanded me to announce to the Nation yesterday (Sunday), His Majesty has further commanded that I emphasise the following;
1. That when the vaccine arrives, he requests Emaswati to cooperate with Ministry of Health so that we can all be protected;
2. That his Government continues to upscale the COVID19 response so that we do not lose more lives even though the vaccine is not yet available in the country; and
3. That all Emaswati and residents of Eswatini should continue to religiously adhere to all non-pharmaceutical protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which are:
Appropriately wearing a mask at all times;
Regularly washing hands with soap and running water or a hand sanitiser;
Keeping social distancing; and
Avoiding unnecessary travel.”
