No rush for students to return to city-state. FMTNews Virus School
HONG KONG: Scrambling to contain the spread of coronavirus, Hong Kong extended the suspension of schools on Thursday until at least March 16 and told overseas students studying in the city there was no rush to return.
Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung said secondary and primary schools would not return from an already prolonged break until at least mid-March, extending an earlier suspension that was due to see students return to lessons on March 2. “Social distancing and avoiding mass movement of people are the strategies for preventing and controlling the epidemic,” Yeung said at a press conference.
