Muscat: The Ministry of Education released on its electronic portal the health procedures for schools that cover students, parents, school administration, teachers, bus drivers, care providers in health and nutrition fields, and visitors.
The document lists measures in the event of COVID-19 infection or suspected infection in public or private schools. This will be applied during the first semester for this year that is to begin on November 1. There has been a delay in the opening of schools due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The mode of education during the time would be blended in all the schools, as decided by the government.
The supervisory committees formed in the general directorates of education in the governorates will carry out a set of tasks to ensure the implementation of health protocol in the schools, classifying schools according to their student strength, and activating the hotline between the directorate’s supervisory committee and the main committee, schools and health institutions and the ministry. This is aimed at monitoring the detection of new cases and other developments in the schools.
