Dr Sora said they were taking advantage of the free PCR testing being availed by the Higher Life Foundation and the testing was done as a precautionary measure. He wrote:<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the first batch of results has indicated that (7) seven 6 Upper borders tested positive for COVID-19. The rest of the results are still to come in but all 265 boarders were tested with the last test done on Wednesday 24 March 2021.<\/p>\n

He added that the affected pupils have been quarantined while awaiting instruction from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education. Said Dr Sora:<\/p>\n

All the relevant authorities have been informed. It is now up to parents to continue bringing their boys to school while waiting for further instructions.<\/p>\n

Our boys will fight this and we are hopeful they will be back into the fold after the mandatory eight days. We will continue testing all our students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
