Luanda — Member States of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) that want to resume classes should adopt minimum and basic prevention requirements, including the provision of hygiene, water and sanitation facilities, due to covid-19.
The recommendation is contained in the Organisation's report, reached Angop Monday, urging the members to procure cleaning and screening products, as well as increase teaching staff to reduce the number of the students in the classrooms.
Angola has suspended classes since last March, under the first Provisional Legislative Presidential Decree.
On the other hand, SADC recommends the members that intend to lift the lockdown rules to do so in a phased manner, without disrupting efforts to reduce covid-19 transmission.
Angola, one of the 16 member countries of the region, has 43 confirmed positive cases, of which 11 have been recovered, 30 are active and two dead.
