He also noted that schools prefer to have additional time to wrap up teaching for this term, rather than carrying this forward to Term 3. The June school holidays run from May 29 to June 27. All centre-based tuition centres and enrichment classes should move activities online till June 13 or further notice, to reduce interaction between students from different schools, said MOE.

This will involve using new and faster testing methods to ring-fence affected schools, so that lessons in other schools can continue.
