Sorry kids, someone messed up

For a brief period yesterday, pupils would have been ecstatic at news from the national department of health that masks were no longer required at school.

Except, the provision was nowhere to be found in the published Government Gazette.

“The department would like to bring to the public’s attention the confusion created by unfortunate and regrettable human error in the statement issued about the removal of face mask wearing by children at school,” spokesperson Foster Mohale said yesterday.

“This is not part of the gazetted health regulations and is therefore retracted.”

Children “like other people are expected to continue wearing masks.”
