MANAMA: The start of the school year has been delayed by the Education Ministry for two weeks, in order for teachers and support staff to be tested for Covid-19 following a spike in the number of positive cases in the community.
The move follows directives from His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier, to review measures concerning reopening of government schools .
