Schools in Warrap State are facing challenges in implementing Covid-19 preventive protocols with many schools missing basic handwashing facilities and teaching staff and their charges lacking face masks.
Radio Tamazuj sounded out several pupils and their teachers who said they were vulnerable to the coronavirus since schools reopened.
Abuk Manggo, a student of Nile Academic Secondary School in Kuajok town said the lack of facemasks is worrying because they do not practice social distancing while in class.
“In Nile Academic Secondary School, we don’t have facemasks and students stay near each other in the classes and it is not good to stay while breathing without facemasks,” she said.
