High school students in Vinh city continue to stay home from school to prevent Covid-19 epidemic

This morning (March 9), after the end of the school day, Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted was the first school to announce that the entire school would be closed until further notice.

In addition, the school also strictly prohibits extra-curricular teaching (for all levels and locations) until the epidemic is over. At the same time, all staff, teachers, employees and students must strictly follow the regulations and instructions of the health sector on Covid-19 prevention and control.

At Le Viet Thuat High School, teacher Phan Xuan Phan - Principal of the school said: Implementing the decision of the Department of Education and Training, this afternoon we sent a message to all parents to inform the students' school break schedule, starting from tomorrow. In addition, we ask parents to manage their children during the school break, especially when the Covid-19 epidemic is complicated.

The school has also promoted the need for parents and students to follow the instructions to prevent the disease according to the direction of the health sector and superior agencies. On the school side, during the time students are off school, the school will continue to implement online teaching methods and the school will give tests after reviewing.

Regarding the fact that students in Vinh city will be off school starting tomorrow (March 10), Mr. Nguyen Trong Hoan - Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training also said: Today, the Department has decided to let all high school students in Vinh city (except for the two Ethnic Minority High Schools and Ethnic Minority High Schools 1) be off school to limit contact with crowded places. One of the main reasons is that there are currently many students studying at schools whose fathers or mothers may have been in contact with some cases that are being quarantined, so that will ensure the safety of students and schools. The time to return to school will be announced later.

Previously, high school students in the entire Nam Dan district were also given a day off. In addition, Nguyen Sy Sach High School in Thanh Chuong district, but because it is close to Nam Dan district and has more than 160 students from Nam Dan district studying at the school, was also given a day off.
