However, the Secretary to the Cabinet assured health practitioners of President Edgar Lungu\u2019s support to continue supporting the health sector in the country to ensure that they perform their duties efficiently.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary commended cooperating partners for the help rendered in the fight against the deadly pandemic. And Dr Miti implored the general public to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing which is important to note is that COVID is with us for a long time and when you are vaccinated you\u2019re not only able to have a situation where you will not have severe effects of COVID if you get COVID but also protect others and help others not to get COVID,\u201d he said. It\u2019s important to note that COVID is with us and we have to make sure that as many people as possible are vaccinated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
