INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL – are we prisoners in South Africa

It’s time to start making December holiday plans ️, – but who will have us? Most airlines ️ have stopped flying to South Africa, and many international borders are still closed to us because of the N501Y South African COVID-19 variant. Not being vaccinated certainly doesn’t help either. So is December in Plett, Cape Town, Jerusalem , New York , or Bangkok?

On Sunday at 20:00, we examine how we can still explore the world .

Dr Anton Meyberg – physician and pulmonologist, will explain the risk we pose to other countries, and whether South Africa should close its borders to travellers from India, Brazil, and Turkey.
