The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education sent a team to investigate at Solvista Secondary when the allegations surfaced this week.


The school was accused of failing to take the proper safety precautions when it allowed learners - who'd tested positive for coronavirus - to write exams.


The department's spokesperson Muzi Mahlambi says Covid-19 protocols were followed.


Investigators found that four learners, who had the virus, wrote their papers in separate rooms.


"There is a manual to that effect as to how to go about invigilating. We are satisfied about the management."
