Uncertainty over reopening of schools shut due to COVID-19 cases
Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
It's not known when schools, whose teachers tested positive for COVID-19, will reopen.
Three schools in KwaZulu-Natal have had to close their doors again this week after staff contracted coronavirus.
Apollo Secondary in Chatsworth and Clairwood Secondary were temporarily shut on Tuesday morning.
Later, Savannah Park Secondary near Pinetown stopped all academic activity.
Mass screening and testing of staff have been underway.
KZN Education HOD, Enoch Nzama says they're hoping to reopen the schools soon.
"We are expecting the results to be out in two to three days, but we are also hoping that the schools can open in three days.
"As soon as we get the results, we'll be in the position of knowing as to how many teachers have been affected and replace those that have been affected, who are in quarantine. Otherwise, we want schools to continue with its work."
