How Can We Safely Reopen Schools?

Schools are set to reopen in stages beginning 1st March with preschoolers, Standard 1, and Standard 2 students, while SPM students continue taking their examinations. However, the announcement has been met by both relief and concern among parents - while children are finally able to return to school, the question remains if it’s safe to do so when COVID-19 cases are still high. To weigh in on the issue and how we can safely reopen schools, joining us today is Dr Hung Liang Choo, President of the Malaysian Paediatrics Association.
