2200 teachers with Covid-19 comorbidities told to return to school in the Cape By Okuhle Hlati Share Cape Town - The Western Cape Education Department has urged all of its teachers, who were granted a concession for Covid-19 comorbidities, to report back for duty by Monday. More than 2 200 teachers in the province have been working from home since schools reopened under lockdown level 3. Head of department Brian Schreuder said President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement to move to lockdown level 1 had implications regarding the management of employees with identified comorbidities in their offices and schools. “The concessions to work from home will no longer apply. This is in line with the Department of Basic Education (DBE) Circular of 2020, dated March 11, which states that teachers who had been given concessions during level 2 and 3, need to return to school due to the reduction to level 1.
