TimesLIVE reports that two teachers, a principal and a school administration clerk in North West have tested positive for Covid-19.
The North West education department confirmed that the affected schools would be temporarily shut down to undertake the standard procedure of deep cleaning and disinfecting. The staff who tested positive have been requested to self-isolate to limit the spread of the virus. “This is hard hitting to us as the education community because our teachers are our core drivers towards advancing quality education. We really wish them strength and perfect healing,” said education MEC Wendy Matsemela. The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in the North West education sector is currently 16.
