Minister of Education Hang Chuon Naron said on Monday (May 11) schools will reopen only when the Kingdom and countries in the region have gotten the Covid-19 pandemic under control.
Speaking in a video interview published by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) on Saturday, Chuon Naron said to avoid a second wave of infections, it will wait until the government declares that the country is 90-95% safe, if not 100 per cent.
Asked why the ministry delayed school reopening when only two out of a total of 122 Covid-19 patients remain hospitalised, he said safety is the top priority.
