The Western Cape government has secured zero-rated access to the national government\u2019s Electronic Vaccination Data System (EVDS) website through its public Wi-Fi hotspots.<\/p>\n

According to the province, this means that people can access EVDS on the public Wi-Fi hotspots, without affecting their allocation of 3GB free data per month.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy zero-rating, a greater number of people from across the province will be able to register for their vaccines, regardless of whether they live in rural settings or have limited access to the internet,\u201d the provincial government said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Western Cape believes that this will bring the province closer to reaching its registration targets and administering the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n

To use the Western Cape public Wi-Fi hotspots to register on the EVDS, users can click on the blue button which reads \u2018COVID-19: Info & Help\u2019 on the landing page.<\/p>\n

Users will then be directed to the vaccination registration link where they will complete, or assist someone in completing, their vaccine registration online.<\/p>\n

The province said the public Wi-Fi hotspots are available across the province.<\/p>\n

Residents can visit www.westerncape.gov.za\/wifi<\/a> to find their nearest hotspots by inserting the name of the suburb and selecting the search function.<\/p>\n

To connect to one of the Western Cape government\u2019s public Wi-Fi hotspots:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Go to device settings on your Wi-Fi enabled device.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ensure that you have enabled your Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Search for Wi-Fi Networks and select WCG LiquidHotspot.<\/p>\n

To date, the province said it has already administered 102 394 vaccines. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the Western Cape recorded 18 additional deaths since Friday, 21 May, bringing the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in the province to 11 763. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for us to fight back against COVID-19 by getting registered for the vaccine,\u201d the provincial government said. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
