The Gauteng education department’s head office in Johannesburg is currently being decontaminated after it was shut down on Wednesday.
Gauteng’s Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi is self-isolating after two staff members tested positive for Covid-19, Premier David Makhura revealed on Friday.
“MEC Lesufi is not saying that he is not well. We are taking precautionary measures awaiting the results of the test that he has done after being exposed,” he explained.“This includes public health workers and educators,” Makhura explained. Staff members who were in contact with those who contracted the virus have been tested and would follow protocols to prevent the spread of the virus.
“We also immediately decontaminate the building, close it for a few days and re-open once it has been decontaminated,” he added.
