Students' safety compromised and trip cancellations - Wendy Knowler investigates

--:--
It’s Christmas time and we’re experiencing a second wave of coronavirus infections. Not a great combo. Quite a few people have voiced their concerns to Wendy about employees in shops and restaurants not wearing their masks properly and making them feel unsafe. And yes, many consumers don’t do their bit other - wearing masks with noses exposed, or as chin buffs or so loose and wafty on their faces, they may as well not bother. Engage with management if you feel unsafe - for all our sakes. This week, Wendy received an email from a Durban University of Technology (DUT) student, saying that students had been “forced” to go to campus to write tests and other assessments, but that no covid protocols were being followed - no social distancing, not enough sanitizers provided, and no screening. Wendy took it up with the Univerisity.

With President Ramapahosa's recent address, resulting in beach closures due to the second wave, you want to cancel your holiday. Can you demand a full refund? Listen to the podcast for Wendy's advice.
