Banda said the academy normally takes students to Mlambe hospital once they  get sick and that since schools opened on 4 January, 2021, no student has tested positive to Covid-19.

“The school has records of students who have ever been taken to the hospital since 4th January, 2021 and we understands that Covid -19 is real. As such all preventive measures are supposed to be observed. Maranatha Academy wishes to advise parents and guardians to verify social media reports with the school to establish the truth, ” it reads.

The Head Teacher also assures parents that the school takes issues to do with Covid-19 prevention seriously.
