The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) urges public members to visit authorised offices for issuing of travel permits in and out of Windhoek, Okahandja and Rehoboth.
The ministry in a media statement Friday said a large number of public members are observed flocking to the Namibian Police Force offices (NamPol) following the announcement of the implementation of amended regulations by the ministry on 17 June 2021.
Authorised officers for issuance of permits are NamPol station commanders, high-ranked officers or designated officers by the NamPol Inspector-General; executive directors or regional directors of MoHSS; Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture; Ministry of Trade and Industrialisation and Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.
“Persons permitted entry, transit or exit into or out of restricted areas should adhere to the public health regulations. Hence all regional health directors are urged to bring the content of the public notice to the attention of all relevant offices and counterparts in the respective regions to ease congestion at police stations countrywide and to avert further COVID-19 transmission,” the ministry said.
