The provincial education department confirmed this during the tabling of its 2020/21 budget in the provincial legislature. 

Acting Education MEC, Makalo Mohale, conveyed his condolences to the bereaved families of these teachers during his budget speech. 

He said the number of teachers who tested positive for Covid-19 in the province is 760 to date. Mohale added even though the province lost three teachers, no learner have succumbed to the virus. 

A total of 294 learners tested positive for the virus since the reopening of schools last month.
