Covid-19: A revised protocol for students
This week, the Ministry of Education announced amendments to the health protocol applied in schools. The number of self-isolation days for students who have been in contact with someone positive for Covid-19 has changed, considering the start of the vaccination program for them. Thus, vaccinated students will have to self-isolate at home for 7 days, while those who are not will have to self-isolate for 14 days. Classrooms also have to be cleaned and sanitised. The classroom layout also needs to be reviewed by schools.
