More than one million students will return to schools when the new academic year 2022-23 begins next week. Authorities in the UAE have completed all Covid safety preparations to receive the students. During media briefing, authorities announced updated Covid safety protocols for students of public schools.
A government spokesperson said masks remain mandatory in closed spaces, but social distancing is no longer mandatory inside schools and buses. School managements and bus operators can implement distancing measures as they deem fit.
Remote learning will be made available to students who test positive for Covid-19. Those who have symptoms of respiratory illnesses can learn remotely till they get their PCR test results.
Thermal screenings are not required, provided students who have high temperatures stay away from schools and test for Covid. If they test negative, they have to apply for a sick leave.
