JUBA, May 3 (Xinhua) School reopened Monday in South Sudan after closure for more than one year due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Hussein Abdelbagi Akol, vice president in charge of service cluster, said the decision came in the wake of the recent drop in COVID-19 infections since March. COVID-19 is still with us but we have decided to reopen schools and will strictly follow COVID-19 preventative measures in the schools, Akol told journalists in Juba during the official reopening for learners.
He, however, noted that schools will only operate at half capacity as preventive measures against COVID-19.
