Department makes mistake, children must continue wearing masks at schools

VAALDRIEHOEK - The Department of Health has moved to clarify that schoolchildren should continue wearing face masks. This follows after a statement on Wednesday night in which the department said school children are exempt from complying with the wearing of face masks. The department stated it was a regrettable human error. Deputy-Director-General Nicholas Crisp says they acknowledge the discrepancy between the statement and what had been gazetted.
