Headmistress, No.6 B.E.H.S (Nay Pyi Taw), Si Si Win said “Since before reopening the schools, we’ve been conducting social distancing practices at the school entrance gate and also we’ve arranged hand washing practices systematically as soon as entering the school and putting posters on health instructions of MOHS and Ministry of Education in front of the school. Then, we screen the temperature of the students and arrange hand gels at the classrooms.”

Only 20 students are allowed to sit per classroom with social distancing practices in line with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Sports, she added.
