Pretoria - The provincial command council on Covid-19 is concerned about bringing a million more learners to schools in the wake of the increase in infections, Premier David Makhura said yesterday.
This was an about-turn on an earlier decision for the rest of the grades to join their Grade 7 and 12 counterparts who returned to school at the beginning of the month. “We recognise that schools are based in communities and learners live in the same affected communities, and therefore a careful balancing act must be maintained,” said Motshekga.
He called on all people to change their behaviour regarding the pandemic by adhering to the health regulations laid down by the government. Makhura said the number of mourners at funerals needed to be kept low, and people must ensure that they wore masks and sanitised their hands.He painted a bleak picture of the road ahead, especially with the country getting into the winter season.Makhura was concerned with the behaviour of many people frequenting the CBDs in Joburg and Pretoria.
