They checked the site, speaking to people who are administering this vaccine and what they said is that they are impressed by the progress that has been made.

But I should say that he didn't give us much despite to say that when we arrived in Soweto at an old-age home that is where he is gonna disclose the arrival of the other batch of vaccines and so on. However, he announced that so far 70,000 healthcare workers have been vaccinated here in Gauteng.
