Health Ministry’s Permanent Secretary says schools will remain closed.

While responding to a question about the reopening of schools, Dr James Fong says we have to accept this is a time of war and during these times schools and businesses close down and everybody has to find another way of functioning until the war is over.

He says the Education Ministry has asked them for passes so that they can set up online strategies for carrying out the classes and this has been granted.
