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.

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