SINGAPORE – Despite the record number of 47 new Covid-19 cases announced on Wednesday (March 18), schools and kindergartens will reopen next Monday as planned with stricter measures, said the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) on Thursday.
The measures include requiring students and staff of schools, pre-schools and student care centres who were overseas during the school holidays from March 14 to serve a 14-day isolation period from the date of return, and schools suspending all co-curricular activities and getting students to sit further apart.
Pre-schools will do more frequent temperature screening for all staff and students.
MOE, MSF and ECDA made the announcement on Thursday morning amid wide speculation among parents and students that the one-week school holidays which began on March 14 will be extended.
