The KZN Exco says the lives of pupils, teachers and school management teams will not be compromised.
The KwaZulu-Natal executive council has resolved to intensify screening and testing for Covid-19 at schools located in the province’s hotspots, which include the Ethekwini and Ilembe districts.
On Monday, grades 7 and 12 went back to school and some schools in the province have had to temporarily close due to Covid-19. “Equally, the Exco is encouraged by the increasing number of recoveries. The Executive Council re-iterates the commitment that there will be no compromise on the life and safety of teachers, learners and school management teams.
“The Provincial Executive Council continues to appeal to citizens to wear face masks in public and exercise social distancing, as well as intensify good hygiene practices,” the statement reads.
