He also informed the President that as part of measures to contain and stop the spread of Covid-19 within the parliamentary precincts, particularly in the wake of the spike in infections as well as the new wave of the Omicron variant of the disease, Parliament would undertake a Covid-19 booster vaccination exercise before the resumption of the parliamentary sitting. <\/p>\n
The speaker had earlier advised against politicizing his health and that of other office-holders. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Office will advise that the health issues of the Speaker and that of office-bearers be not politicized, as anybody could be taken ill at any time. <\/p>\n
