18th February 2021 The decision to introduce a curfew as a mitigation measure towards the spread of Covid-19 in society has brought mixed reactions amongst some training institutions and their day-to-day operations. In an interview Lexie Training Investment operations manager Debra Ditsala shared that since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the introduction of curfews, they have experienced a myriad of problems that ultimately changed the way they have been doing things. She said: “We didn’t have any enrolments for March, May and July 2020 because of lockdowns. We are training institution that receives its training materials from the United Kingdom. Our supplier in the UK had to cancel exam booking and postponed them for a later date, so the candidates which registered in January had to write in November 2020. Furthermore, we struggle with payments mainly salaries and utilities. Since the introduction of curfews, we opted to conduct classes over the weekends.”
