Africa-Press<\/a> – Mozambique<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Two higher education institutions in the central Mozambican province of Manica have temporarily stopped face-to-face classes because of the spread of the Covid-19 respiratory disease.<\/p>\n

The institutions concerned are the Higher School of Journalism (ESJ) and the Manica Higher Polytechnic Institute (ISPM).<\/p>\n

In both cases the students are regarded as those most exposed to contamination, and so the authorities have decided to interrupt temporarily face-to-face teaching.<\/p>\n

The director of the Manica Provincial Social Affairs Services, Maria de Lurdes Brige, told reporters that, in addition to the two schools, her own directorate had been forced to close its doors because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe confirm that we have positive cases n the schools\u201d, said Brige. \u201cIn my directorate, two staff members also tested positive, and so we decided o close the doors while the offices are being disinfected. We have set up virtual offices and we are working from home\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same with the higher education schools\u201d, she continued. \u201cWe have students and teachers who are Covid-19 positive. Faced with this scenario, we have no choice but to close the schools to block the spread of the disease\u201d.<\/p>\n

Brige did not say how many students and teachers are infected, but described the situation as \u201cworrying\u201d. She called for greater responsibility and observance of preventive measures by the entire student community in order to reduce the impact of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

There were unconfirmed reports of positive cases from other educational institutions, such as the Pungue University.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working to check the situation\u201d, said Brige. \u201cIf it\u2019s true, we shall be obliged to take a decision to protect the health of the students and the staff\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the latest Health Ministry figures, since the start of the pandemic 3,126 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in Manica, and 586 of these are active cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is a matter of concern\u201d, said the Provincial Director of Health, Izidoro Xavier. \u201cWe have staff on the ground, at the schools, the bus terminals, the markets and other public places, to check on compliance with the measures laid down to fight against the disease\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrevention consists of face masks, washing hands regularly with soap or gel, and social distancing\u201d, said Xavier. \u201cIn these places, our teams are ensuring compliance with the government\u2019s recommendations\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
