SINGAPORE, July 31 (Bloomberg): Singapore schools remain safe places for learning and have measures in place to minimize the transmission risks of Covid-19, according to Education Minister Chan Chun Sing.
The government would continue to adopt a targeted approach to deal with Covid-19 infections within schools and continue to monitor the situation closely and make adjustments as needed, Chan said Friday in a Facebook post.
He addressed why the country shouldn’t shift schools back online despite calls from some parents to do so, given the country is unlikely to see zero local cases in the short-term and vaccination for younger children being currently unavailable.
