A notice from the Ministry of Education on Saturday urged the people of the country not to pay heed to any rumour over the closure of educational institutions due to the recent spike in Covid-19 cases.

“A rumour is being spread in social medical that educational institutions will be closed for an indefinite period, and the Minister did not give any statement in this regard recently,” the notice said quoting Education Minister Dipu Moni.

“The government is monitoring the overall Covid situation and will sit with the National Technical Advisory Committee on Covid again and decision will take later,” it added.

However, the government is now giving priority to ensuring vaccination of all students.

The ministry also urged all to refrain from manking any such information in this regard, said the notice.
