Despite the increasing amount of cases in South Africa, there will be no school closures, yet.
The minister of health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, announced yesterday that four more people have tested positive for the coronavirus, bringing the number of infected individuals in South Africa to seven.
“We have sent a circular to all our schools to provide guidelines on what to do in terms of general hygiene standards. The department of health, however, will communicate should any announcements be made specifically on the coronavirus,” Motshekga said. Mkhize and the MEC for education in KwaZulu-Natal held a meeting with the parents and staff of the school on Friday. Meanwhile, Grayston Preparatory School in Sandton, Johannesburg, also closed on Monday as a precautionary measure after it emerged that one of its staff members had been in contact with a person that had tested positive for the coronavirus.
