Close Down Schools for two weeks

Bosetu President Winston Radikolo says government should close down schools for two weeks for fumigation and contact tracing, following the educator’s union's extensive covid19 survey in schools which revealed a worrying situation on the ground with more than 30 schools nationwide affected and the number of students contracting covid increasing at uncontrollable levels across the country.
