I read the speech, but it didn't mention tourists being able to travel. Where are you able to access the speech online?

Here's the relevant part for those of us traveling to Namibia:

Regulation No. 11: Restrictions relating to entry into Namibia:

Entry into Namibia by air or road is permitted during this period. Travellers who have made

prior arrangements can proceed to their destinations. Tourists who wish to depart Namibia

through or traversing via the restricted areas (by road or by air) will be granted passage on

providing relevant proof.
