Children are probably safer from contracting Covid-19 at school than in their communities, a child health expert has said.

“We know on the whole this is not the case. Adults are much more receptive or prone to getting this virus from their communities or from colleagues, including where they shop [and] the taxis they travel [in].”

Going back to school would give access even to poorer children who had not access to online education and had no food security in their homes, she added. Schreuder said the department is currently doing a lot of work to lower the anxiety of teachers and to ensure that “they are as positive as possible’ and impart positive messages to children.

Schäfer said extended school closures did not affect all learners equally, “owing to unequal access to home learning support and the internet”.
