New cleaning solution means Westport school can reopen sooner

A West Coast school forced to shut when more than a third of its pupils became sick has been offered help by a Christchurch cleaning company. Staff at Westport North School donned rubber gloves and began cleaning and disinfecting surfaces yesterday - after announcing the school would be closed for at least three days But did they need to be as thorough? Jamal McClearly from Stay Well Solutions offered his principal Cath O'Laughlin their services. He spoke to our producer Lydia Batham while driving to Buller last night.
