Govt must urgently close schools: PTUZ

THE Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) has called for the primary and secondary Education ministry to close schools to protect learners and educators from rising COVID-19 infections.

A number of schools are recording COVID-19 cases, sending panic among parents, teachers and learners at a time when there has been an increase in confirmed cases across the country.

Government however shot down calls to shut down schools, insisting that all pre-requisite measures to protect learners and teachers are in place.
