CORONAVIRUS | School session likely postponed until situation recovers, tarawih and Ramadan bazaars also not allowed, says PM.

| The fight against Covid-19 may drag on for months even after a possible end to the movement control order.

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said as long as the virus is out there, social distancing measures must be kept in place. He said this means that school may remain closed for longer, and that there won't be any balik kampung journeys during Ramadan.Addressing concerns by parents who want school closures to be extended as well, Muhyiddin said this is likely to happen.

"We may postpone the school session until we are truly sure that the situation has recovered," he said in a televised address. In the meantime, the prime minister said he has asked the Education Ministry to implement a home-based learning initiative so that children can continue with their education while schools remain closed.He said the people can't go to Ramadan bazaars, or perform tarawih prayers at mosques - which he said should be performed at home with families instead.
