The party argues that the current one-metre distance policy means that most schools in South Africa are forced to operate on a rotational basis whereby each learner only attends school 50% of the time.
“The purpose of the policy was to enable one-metre social distancing in classrooms, to thereby take pressure off the health system by slowing the spread of the virus. Yet, the health system has not been under pressure from the virus during the fourth wave.” “There is a need to balance the rights of the high-risk group to health with the rights of children to education. However, those individuals who have a high risk of severe disease or death from Covid have the option of getting vaccinated. There is no supply or access problem with vaccines.
Bad decision. If covid is a joke Dan lift it. But if goin to cause kids in classrooms jammed with 40 kids than it's a dumb idea.
I support the move made by the Democratic Alliance. The rotational timetable must be scrapped.
