Reducing social distancing in schools

[Sideshow Bob]

The corona doesn't affect kids,

This is fairly blanket statement though. You probably mean they are at the lowest possible risk compared to adults and deaths are low as well. As per CDC data, there have been reports (about 8% cases for age group under 18 years)

The Basic Education minister, Angie Motshekga, recently announced several changes planned for schools including the reduction of social distancing requirements from 1.5m to 1m.

Do you think is is wise? Or could this possibly fuel further outbreaks?

DoNt bother with public schools, Just Homeschool your kids (If U Really love them, U'll find a way to homeschool them) then U doNt/won't have to worry about them contracting covid...

Why does everyone in the school environment need to be annoyed, frustrated or worried or otherwise problemat... oh wait, you mean vaxxed?

Vaccination are open for everyone. If you feel you are at risk you can go get your vaccine.

Face covers don't even work.

Before the pandemic all the schools in the underprivileged areas were cramming 40 pupils into classrooms designed for 20 pupils. This has not changed since the start of the pandemic. So where does the Minister think she will apply social distancing, when pupils are already sitting cheek by jowl?
