Education MEC Debbie Schäfer has revealed the number of schools and teachers affected by the Covid-19 in the Western Cape ahead of the schools reopening on Monday.

Schäfer said they have received a number of media enquiries about cases of Covid-19 at schools in the province, and that while they understand that the public is entitled to be informed, the Western Cape Education Department also has a duty to ensure that the information given does not compromise the confidentiality of staff or learners.

"In addition, simply giving figures in the absence of any context or relevant factual information is not helpful, and could further aggravate the anxiety. Each case will have unique facts associated with it, which the schools will manage," Schäfer said. Schäfer said that they have opted to provide the number of cases per district, but that the number of schools with confirmed staff cases does not mean that they contracted the virus at the school, nor does it mean that the school is at risk.

How did they get infected. Didn't know an empty school could. Please report correctly. Schools were closed for 2 months. Don't teachers take social distancing themselves seriously. Forget the unions

MbuyiseniNdlozi Government has not said it but their actions indicate that they are adopting herd immunity strategy.

MbuyiseniNdlozi The current ANC & EFF in south africa are BLACK nazi's......... They all have the same BEE racial based policies........ The ANC Of Nelson Mandela of the past is dead!!
