In light of the address by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday 15 March, where he declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national disaster, instituted travel bans and closed schools, the Prue Leith Culinary Institute has taken the following decisions:

• to close the Prue Leith Restaurant until 1 April.
• to postpone our Open Day and Open Evening until after Easter.
• to suspended contact classes for the moment and give our students online support with distance learning.

Any students, parents or staff who may have been exposed to the coronavirus strain and are considered at risk of infection should immediately inform the Institute, to enable us to consider any additional control measures.
