All schools, education institutions in Sarawak's red zones to close for another week


KUCHING: All schools and educational institutions in Sarawak's Covid-19 red zones will remain closed for another week until May 10, says the state Disaster Management Committee.

The committee said the decision to extend the closure was made following Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin's announcement on Monday (April 26) that all schools would conduct home-based teaching and learning for two weeks after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri school holidays from May 8 to 16.
