Contact sports have been suspended at schools with immediate effect, the Department of Basic Education announced today.
The decision follows calls made by education experts and activists as a result of the looming third wave. The risk of the spread of Covid-19 is expected to increase due to the cold, wet weather.
Non-contact sport training in schools can continue provided that all social distancing, hygiene and safety measures are observed and that there is no physical contact between participants during training,” the DBE said.
Here’s a question we’d like to get some feedback on:
Are we taking this potential third wave seriously as individuals or have you succumbed to the idea that Covid is here to stay and we have to continue to live our lives regardless? What’s the sentiment out there currently, WhatsApp us on 082 222 1049
We look forward to hearing from you.
