Three positive for COVID at RJRGLEANER Lyndhurst
The RJRGLEANER Communications Group is working closely with the Ministry of Health and Wellness to assess response mechanisms after three of its employees tested positive for COVID-19.
The employees are from the Lyndhurst Road branch.
In a statement on Tuesday, Chief Executive Officer Gary Allen said that mandatory contact tracing and assessments are being done.
“All staff deemed to be in close contact and those at risk have been asked to isolate,” Allen said.
The statement added that deep cleaning and sanitisation have been undertaken.
As a result of this development, the recording of Schools’ Challenge Quiz and the Ministry of Education’s in-studio programmes has been suspended.
The launch of the Cross Country promotion for 2021 has also been postponed. The group said it has had strict COVID-19 procedures implemented for months, including a work-from-home arrangement for a substantial number of its workers.
Immaculate High under probe
The Ministry of Education says it is aware of allegations of financial impropriety at the Immaculate Conception High School.
It has been reported that sums of money have been misappropriated.
The ministry said that it has been working with the institution to complete a thorough audit of the financial records with a view to providing the requisite guidance and intervention where necessary.
