All Boarding Schools Have Been Disinfected - Mutsvangwa

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said that all boarding schools used as quarantine centres have been disinfected and are safe to readmit pupils.

Mutsvangwa said this while responding to Harare Senator Omega Hungwe (ZANU PF) who had asked if boarding schools that were used as quarantine centres were safe for learners during the Question and Answer session in Senate on Thursday. Said Mutsvangwa:

All the schools were disinfected because as Government we are equally concerned with the safety of children.

To that end, the Government has mobilised $600 million for the procurement of personal protective equipment for pupils ahead of the opening of schools.

The lives of our pupils are very important and no one should be exposed to the disease hence we took those measures.
