Pretoria SGB member tests positive for Covid-19 after inspecting school readiness

issued a circular to parents on Monday, informing them that they had learnt on Sunday that the SGB member had since tested positive for the virus.

“It is with sadness that we inform you that one of our SGB members who was at the school on the 25th May 2020 for a meeting tested positive for Covid-19,” the circular to the parents read. “The member was in close contact with the principal, one general worker and another parent SGB member. The member is admitted at the Steve Biko hospital with stable condition. Principal, general worker and the SGB member are in self-isolation as per head office health service advice,” the circular continued.

District officials have since recommended that the school not reopen for grade 12 pupils on June 8 as planned, but to shut down for another 14 days. The school administration block, where the infected member was, will be re-sanitised during this time. Schools across the country were meant to reopen on Monday, June 1, but at the 11th hour minister of basic education Angie Motshekga put the brakes on this plan after complaints by some school officials who claimed they were not ready to receive pupils as not all of them had received the required protective gear for teachers and pupils. Motshekga then postponed the reopening to June 8.
