STATEMENT BY HIS EXCELLENCY DR. HAGE G. GEINGOB ON THE OCCASSION OF THE 31st COVID-19 PUBLIC BRIEFING ON THE NATIONAL RESPONSE MEASURES, 15 JULY 2021

Fellow Namibians, good morning.

The country has crossed two significant milestones over the past 14-day observance period. We have exceeded 100,000 cumulative cases and over 2,000 deaths have been
recorded due to COVID-19 and related illness.

As of 14 July, a total of one-hundred-and-eight-thousand-seven-hundred-and-eightyfive (108,785) Namibians have at some point contracted and been infected with the
COVID-19, over the course of the past 16 months. Encouragingly, 75 percent have
recovered, while twenty-four-thousand-six-hundred-and-seventy (24,670) are still infected. We remember in prayer, all those who are ill, battling for their lives, and the countless families, who mourn the loss of their loved ones. May you all be comforted.

True character is revealed in times of crisis. I thank all Namibians, our healthcare and frontline workers, for their tireless, daily sacrifices which they selflessly render for the common good. Let us continue to wage this war, unrelentingly in the face of adversity,unflinchingly when confronted by fear. Let us fight for the ultimate gifts of human life and health.
