Namibia: No Further Covid-19 Cases Reported At Delta Hostel

[Namibian] Edication minister Sanet Steenkamp has said no further Covid-19 cases have been reported at Delta Primary School hostel in Windhoek.

Namibia's Education Minister Sanet Steenkamp has announced that no new Covid-19 cases have been reported at the Delta Primary School hostel in Windhoek since a single positive case was confirmed involving a caretaker. The caretaker is reportedly recovering well, and the ministry remains committed to its standard operating procedures for handling such cases.

Upon discovering the positive case, the hostel was temporarily closed, and health officials initiated a screening, testing, and disinfection process. With the current school break, only teachers are present, and the school is scheduled to be disinfected before pupils return on 7 September. Steenkamp reassured parents that the safety measures developed during the pandemic are still in place, despite the recent case, and confirmed that no further cases have been reported.
