Meanwhile, the guideline for mass gatherings is also updated by limiting the number of attendees.

 The teaching and learning methods for all schools namely childcare centres, kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, religious schools and form six centres under the control of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports will be implemented online or via online learning for two weeks starting from 7 to 19th of March 2022. This transition is to take into account the recent attendance of students which has been significantly reduced and to allow teachers to provide a more complete focus on students. Meanwhile, special consideration will be given to schools that apply to conduct face-to-face teaching and learning for the preparation of students who will sit for international examinations.

 Meanwhile, the guideline for mass gatherings is updated as follows, Members of the public who organise events in private homes are advised to limit the total attendance to 30 people only by doing ART tests before attending the events. In addition, health guidelines such as wearing a face mask, physical distancing, use of hand sanitizer must always be complied. For events organised in halls, the limit of 300 people is still maintained in compliance with existing health guidelines, including the use of QR codes.
