The agency advised that school administrators must ensure
daily temperature checks at points of entry. And those with a temperature above
38 degrees are denied access.
“Masks must be worn by all those over the age of 6 years on
school premises.
“Always ensure proper ventilation and minimum of the
one-metre sitting distance between students in classrooms.
“Students and staff who feel ill should stay at home and
seek treatment at a health facility immediately.

“Those who are vaccinated must still obey public health
measures.”

test kits in secondary school hostels and university campuses for testing of
students and staff upon resumption of school and for those experiencing symptoms
of COVID-19 during the session.
