KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 — Seventy-nine schools in Selangor were ordered to close for today and tomorrow after a rise in Covid-19 cases, according to a report by a local news organisation.
Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported that a circular by the Selangor Education Department was handed out yesterday containing the names of the schools, including 19 in Hulu Langat, 18 in Petaling Perdana and 15 in Klang.
A further nine schools in Gombak were ordered to close, along with nine in Petaling Utama, two in Sepang, five in Hulu Selangor and two in Kuala Langat.
This is in line with a report last Wednesday, where Deputy Education Minister Datuk Mah Hang Soon was quoted as saying schools will be closed for two days if a related Covid-19 case is detected.
He reportedly said this was to allow for disinfection and close contact tracing as well as to provide an “emotional buffer space” for the teachers, students and parents.
This comes as Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba last week revealed that his ministry noted a doubling of Covid-19 clusters from the education sector, during the week before April 17.
