A grouping of concerned students has given the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 48 hours to reconsider its decision of extending closure of schools.
Last Thursday, Khumbize Chiponda, co-chairperson for the taskforce- who is also minister of health extended the closure of schools another two weeks after they were also closed for three weeks due to increased cases of Covid-19.
Speaking to MIJ FM, Kelvin Kasanga national publicity secretary for the concerned students- urged authorities to consider re-opening the schools earlier saying schools can observe preventive measures better than other public places.
Kasanga has since threatened that the students will hold demonstrations- if the taskforces will not respond to their demand within 48hrs.
