PRIME Minister James Marape says students returning to classes will need to wear face masks as a health safety measure. “Face masks and gloves will be required in schools, in churches, in work places, in buses, in cars, in planes, in ships, and in life in general (because of) Covid-19,” Marape said on his Facebook page yesterday. “Let us adjust to life with viruses.” Education Minister Joseph Yopyyopy also said yesterday the Education Department would be conducting Covid-19 awareness in schools.
“These are basic principles that can help keep our students, teachers and staff safe at school and help stop the spread of Covid-19,” he said. When asked how students would go to school with the ban on buses, Yopyopy told The National that the State of Emergency Controller David Manning would be allowing buses to run again. Meanwhile, Marape also urged people to farm the land and grow crops to sell. “Yesterday (Wednesday) we bought 35 bags of kaukau from a hard working farmer for K5,000,” he said. “Let’s stop complaining. Our ancestors lived through tougher times than (what we experience) today. Let’s work and not just seeing negatives all the time. A crisis brings opportunities too. The world needs food. Let us grow the food here in PNG. “Papua New Guineans have land. Convert your land to food and money. Every day people need food. We will buy the food.” The National/PNGEducationNews Next : From A High School Dropout To Private And Now Lieutenant-Colonel Comments are closed.
