Some basic schools still face COVID-19 protocol challenges
January 20, 2021
The adherence to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) safety protocol was a challenge at some basic schools when pupils resumed studies on Monday.
Some pupils were not in nose masks and some schools could not ensure social distancing in their classrooms due to limited space and furniture.
There were complaints of delays in the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), although these schools had been fumigated.
The re-opening of schools after about 10 months of closure as part of measures to curb the spread of the virus followed a directive by the government last week.
