KUALA LUMPUR – With students set to return to school next week, schools and authorities are scrambling to sanitise and disinfect classrooms to proof them against Covid-19.

Some non-governmental organisations have jumped in to help efforts, the most recent of which saw several NGOs, working with Pemuda Umno, sponsoring the sanitisation of classrooms in SK Raja Muda Seksyen 4 Shah Alam today.

Year 1 and 2 students will be going back to school on Monday, while students in Years 3 to 6 are expected to return to school on March 8. 

Secondary school students will have to wait until the SPM 2020 exams are over.
