The document, dated Friday May 29, states that parents do not have to send their children back to the classrooms.
“Only those schools and offices that have complied with the minimum health, safety and social distancing measure on Covid-19 ... will be allowed to open.
“A parent who chooses not to send a learner to school must apply to the head of department, who, in terms of section 4 of the South African Schools Act, may exempt a learner entirely, partially or conditionally from compulsory school attendance, if it is in the best interests of the learner. The regulations state that parents or guardians must not send pupils to school “if the learners have any of the symptoms of Covid-19”.
“Any person who enters an office or school must be screened, to ascertain whether they have any of the observable symptoms associated with Covid-19, namely fever, cough, sore throat, redness of eyes, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing.
