Schools will continue in a safe environment, says Education Minister


PETALING JAYA: The easy way out would be to close schools but data from the Health Ministry shows there is no reason to worry, says Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin.

The Education Minister said closing schools may not be the right decision as data shows that clusters linked to educational institutions within the ministry is only 4.8%, with a total of 2,274 cases in all its institutions.
