More important to wash, sanitise hands frequently than to wear face masks

IT IS more important to wash or sanitise hands than to wear face masks in preventing Covid-19 spreading in schools.

Teachers should do their part by reminding students to sanitise their hands more frequently and avoid touching their face. Any student having symptoms should wear a face mask, get tested and isolate if testing positive in line with the Health Ministry's TRIIS (Test, Report, Isolate, Inform and Seek) system.
