Jakarta: The Indonesian Religious Affairs Ministry is ready to assist Islamic boarding schools whose students or staff tested positive for covid-19, according to Indonesian Religion Minister Fachrul Razi.
"We will immediately give assistance," the minister said in a statement on Wednesday.
"If they are hit by covid-19, they should immediately report it," Fachrul stated.
According to the ministry, Islamic Schools and Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia should meet four conditions before calling the students to get back to classroom.
The conditions are, among others, schools environment should be safe from covid-19, teachers should be safe from covid-19, students should be safe from covid-19, and strict health protocols must be enforced.
