“Students with Covid-19 symptoms or live with a family member who is Covid-19 positive are not allowed in school," it said.

“All teachers, members of the implementation team, support workers and visitors are still required to scan the QR code through their MySejahtera app before entering the premises of educational institutions under the Ministry,” it added in a statement on Thursday (Feb 10).

The Ministry also said that the health of students will be monitored while they are in school, adding that students who are symptomatic will be put in an isolation room for further action.
