Harare (News pf The South) Covid cases have continued to rise in schools and unless a robust approach is adopted to abate its effects there will be disaster in schools soon.
Cases

-Boarding kids have tested positive, Selbourne Routledge Primary, Harare.
-reported case, Avocar Primary, Bindura
-confirmed cases of ten teachers, 23 pupils, Bindura Urban Schools
-reported cases, plumtree schools, Mat South.
-40 learners have symptoms consistent with covid, Wadilove.
-Many other teachers and students are positive but have not yet been tested or are waiting for confirmation of results.
It is dangerous for gvt to claim that the cases are minimal when it has no capacity to test all teachers, students and ancillary staff in schools.
Our preparedness to efficiently, effectively and transparently use resources to combat covid 19 in schools is uppermost now. Without this, the best would be to urgently close schools before the majority of teachers and pupils become victims.
