More than 300 medical students from Wits, who were encouraged to go into self-quarantine after a fellow student tested positive for Covid-19, have been cleared.
However thirty medical students remain in self-quarantine, 25 of them at home and five in the institution's residences. Zuma said after meetings with the National Institute for Communicable Diseases and government departments, the university was identified as low-risk. “We are deeply cognisant that students may have some concerns and challenges around this decision, but we believe that we are acting in the best interests of students and the broader public. Minimising exposure in the institution extends beyond face to face contact within the academic programme, but also in our residences, especially at this relatively early stage of the pandemic,” said Zuma.
I’m a student here WitsUniversity residing in one of the residences at wits and my apartment mate was part of the 350 students affected and she was never tested
I dont trust this. They saying this simply because they want to get rid of them from the varsity residence
