The ministry required pupils not go to school if they are undertaking quarantine at home or requested by medical facilities. 

Pupils, teachers, and educational workers are also asked to stay at home, inform schools and medical facilities for check-up and treatment if they display symptoms of fever, cough, and shortness of breath. 

Families should check temperatures for their kindergarten kids. Pupils, students, teachers, and educational workers have to check body temperature before school time. Face mask wearing is mandatory at schools.
