Fear as runaways spread virus
Eastern Cape Education MEC Fundile Gade (pictured) fears that 16 pupils who have escaped from Makaula Senior Secondary School before getting their Covid-19 coronavirus test results – some of which have turned out positive – could infect more people.
Gade believes the close to 300 pupils in the Alfred Nzo district who have tested positive for Covid-19 could have contracted the virus before schools reopened.
