> Yes, we have recorded cases in schools, but we have managed to contain them and schools will continue as earlier announced. Children are actually in the middle of exams as we speak.

> … This donation comes at the most opportune time as our country is facing the omicron variant.

> We continue urging all learners to adhere to the SOPs set by the WHO.

Biomedical Research and Training Institute Administrator, Tendai Muchena said:

> Looking at the recent reports we felt this will benefit the schools hence this donation of washable face masks.

A few weeks ago the Government started vaccinating teenagers aged 16 and 17 against COVID-19 as it seeks to attain herd immunity by the end of December this year.

To date, 3 874 694 people have received the first dose while 2 884 045 have received both jabs.
