Dagama School closed after pupils test positive to COVID-19

Seventeen pupils and three teachers have tested positive to COVID-19 at Dagama School for the handicapped in Luanshya district.

District Commissioner Oncemore Ng’onomo confirmed that both members of staff and pupils were tested for COVID-19 yesterday, out of which three teachers and seventeen pupils tested positive.

Mr. Ng’onomo disclosed that the situation has since prompted  government to close the school, with both day scholars and boarders sent home.

He said the decision was arrived at after further consultation from the ministries of Education and Health.

He said the school will remain closed till further notice to allow for the district health office to manage the situation.

A check by ZANIS found the school was deserted with only a few members of staff around the premises, who declined to comment on the matter.

  1. what a name for District Commissioner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr ONCEMORE

  2. How is the minister of health treating the threat of monkey pox which has surfaced in South Africa?

  3. Again, the maturity of a man does need day and night drumbeats. @Kaizar Zulu may have needed that especially now when it appears his mental issue just keep on getting worse. Every time he opens his mouth is like looking at a landfill.

    • Fuseke. You are failing to tell us what f00Iish masebo is doing about this issue. So it is true that she is doing nothing but fartinh and sleeping.
