JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, is still showing mild symptoms but his infection has caused him to delay a booster shot he was due to receive this week, his office said on Monday.
“The President remains in good spirits and continues to present with mild symptoms,” the presidency said in a statement. “(He) reiterates his call to everyone in the country to be vaccinated, as vaccination dramatically reduces the chances of serious illness, hospitalisation or death.”
