No suspension of studies without consulting govt: MOH

Muscat: The Ministry of Health (MOH) in Oman issued a statement on Saturday on the issue of suspension of studies in educational institutions.

MOH said that it recommends that no educational institutions suspend studies without coordination with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education or other ministry or departments affiliated to them, after referring to the Ministry of Health.

The ministry said that the decision to suspend studies in any educational institution depends on the local epidemiological situation after assessing the risks following the reports of laboratory-confirmed cases. “It also seeks to investigate the people who have been in contact with these confirmed cases.”

MOH has been following up on the people in institutional or domestic quarantine.
