Schools across the island reopened for students in Grades 11, 12 and 13 on Monday (July 27).
School authorities have been urged to adhere to the health regulations introduced by the health officials as well as the special instructions issued by the Education Ministry.
Accordingly the reopened schools were instructed to take steps to ensure these guidelines are specially followed when students enter schools, remain at schools and leave the school premises.
