PUTRAJAYA, June 24 ― Schools which record Covid-19 positive cases among students, teachers and staff can be ordered to close, said Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali. “If there is a positive case, the individual involved will be sent to the hospital for treatment and close contacts will be screened either at school or at home. I believe if it happens, the school will be temporarily closed,” he said.

Schooling session involving students sitting for public examinations, namely, Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia , Sijil Vokasional Malaysia , Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia , Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia as well as equivalent international examinations, resumed today.“Hence, on Saturday and Sunday we will look at the SOPs as well as on things that need to be improved. If everything goes well, the ministry will decide on the possibility of other students returning to school,” he said.
