The Namibian Correctional Service (NCS) has waived the requirement for shortlisted candidates to present a certificate of good conduct at the testing venue. Instead, only the final candidates will be required to present such documents before commencing with basic training.

Candidates can report to a testing venue of their choice, except for those shortlisted for sports, truck operator, and brass/live band, who are required to report to the Windhoek testing centers.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services has appealed to all health districts to enhance and reactivate all COVID-19 testing sites and encourage communities to get tested.

The Health Ministry indicated that the current epidemiological data shows a low testing rate countrywide, while the positivity rate is steadily increasing.

This is what Executive Director Ben Nangombe says could point to an increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the communities, which can only be proven by increasing testing.
