Classes have been suspended at more KwaZulu-Natal schools as more teachers test positive for Covid-19.

Morningside Primary School and Strelitzia Secondary School informed parents on Wednesday that teachers had tested positive while Isipingo Secondary School said a support staff member had displayed symptoms of the virus.

On Thursday, Morningside Primary School pupils were screened and sent home while the premises were deep cleaned. A grade 7 teacher had tested positive, the principal said in a communication to parents.
