Zimbabwe has provided an update on how schools will start reopening under the indefinite level 2 lockdown.
Cabinet approved that only exam classes should initially open schools in order for schools to be able to put prevention measures in place. These measures include:
- social distancing;
- limiting of class sizes;
- hand sanitisation,
- mandatory wearing of masks by students and teachers
Students will be expected to return home immediately after exams. Depending on the outcome of the first phase, a way forward can then be mapped for the other classes, and the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education will subsequently issue a date for the commencement of the other classes.
Cabinet also announced that schools would cease to be used as quarantine facilities from 9 June 2020.
