Said Mutsvangwa: > Following the decision to allow for the phased reopening of schools, Cabinet noted that the dissemination of COVID-19 Standard Operational Procedures has laid the foundation for the establishment of Sentinel Surveillance Centres. > The centres will assist in monitoring adherence to COVID-19 protocols and promote a safe learning environment. > Every school has been linked to a specific health team. This strategy will ensure active Rapid Response at the local level. > Designated Temporary Isolation Holding Bays have been set up at each school for individuals requiring further health attention after screening. > There is mandatory logging and thermal screening at every school entry and exit point to enhance contact tracing and surveillance. > Schools that are unable to provide water are being advised that they cannot re-open before the situation is rectified. Schools reopened on Monday for Grade 7, Form 4 and Form 6 students only, amid reports that pupils were sent back home at some schools as they do not have adequate personal protective equipment (PPEs). *More: ZBC News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
