COVID-19 safety messages in the form of posters, brochures, booklets and videos have been launched by the Education Ministry in partnership with UNICEF.

The posters include checklists for students like COVID-19 symptoms to look out for before they leave for school.

Speaking at the launch today, Education Minister Premila Kumar stressed that the decision to reopen schools took into account numerous factors including potential health risks and the negative impact of long term school closures.

She says she is glad that schools have finally opened because it does more good for the students.
