The Eastern Cape department of education says not all schools will be ready to reopen on Monday, and does not yet know the exact number of schools affected by backlogs in the delivery of personal protective equipment .
He added because schools were receiving the PPE at the time of the press briefing, he could not confirm the number of schools that had not received it. He said protests in and around the OR Tambo district by small-to-medium enterprises, who felt they were being overlooked for the tender to deliver the kits, had caused massive delays.
If the child caught the virus at school, it would be closed for deep cleaning and decontamination, said Kojana, adding pupils would only return once the cleaning process was over while the one who tested positive would be isolated.
