Veikko Haimbodi, the former chairman of the Ongwediva arm of the Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, says government should lift the Covid-19 regulations as they are hindering business operations.
He said the pandemic has been disrupting businesses for over a year and while they hoped to recover from the damage, the curfew is not assisting the situation.
“As it stands, the recovered cases are increasing, but businesses remain closed. They [government] should encourage people to go and get their vaccinations and business can remain open,” he said.
