Health Minister Dr Adham Baba said there is a worrying increase in Covid-19 clusters involving schools, with 20 new ones linked to the education sector announced in March and April so far.

Adham said such clusters have been on the rise, and they are linked to transmission from co-workers or social contact.

“District health officers will be sent to monitor the situation. They will do thorough risk and health assessments to ensure the cases and clusters can be managed as well as possible."
