He asked people who are still indecisive to see the benefits of vaccination, emphasizing that vaccination provides the best protection against severe COVID-19 disease.
The public is also advised to continue implementing hygiene and social distancing measures and to use masks in public to help stem the spread of the virus.
So far 66.9 percent of the population has received a complete COVID-19 vaccine, as doubt and distrust of vaccines remains a major challenge for health authorities.
