PETALING JAYA: An increase in movement during the early April school holidays, social gatherings and interstate travels contributed to the rise of Covid-19 clusters and cases in the education sector, said the Health Ministry.

Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said as of Wednesday, there were 53 active clusters out of almost 90 Covid-19 clusters that have cropped up since Jan 1 in the education sector.
