 We confirmed a rapid increase of COVID-19 cases among learners in Opuwo district. Cases were epidemiological linked to index case at school. Factors such as overcrowding, water shortage, and insufficient quarantine/ isolation facilities contributed to prompt spread of the disease. We moved classes outdoors and repurpose classrooms as temporary isolation and quarantine facilities. Adequate water provision and adherence to COVID-19 precaution measures were recommended.
