Cape Town – Eighteen schools in the province were closed for deep-cleaning yesterday as the number of positive Covid-19 cases rose to more than 60.
Hammond said schools had been provided with guidelines on cleaning, as well as what to do when there is a positive case of Covid-19. “Parents and staff at a school have the right to know about any case at their particular school, and thus schools are expected to keep staff and parents informed of the developments related to Covid-19, and the steps that have been taken to ensure their safety.
“Parents are understandably worried, but they feel they need to send their children to school. They trust in the fact that they have masks and sanitisers.”“They only sanitised when I got there and I asked them about it. This needs to be taken more seriously, as parents are concerned about their children,” Postar said.
