Education Minister Dipu Moni today said classes will be closed if the Omicron variant spreads to educational institutions.
“The situation to shut all the educational institutions has not been created yet in the country,” the Minister said while talking to reporters after attending the DCs’ Conference 2022 at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium.
“Students will join online classes from home if Omicron spreads in educational institutions. Until then, there’s no plan to shut in-person classes,” she added.
Dipu Moni said some of the university students have contracted the Omicron variant of Covid-19 but they are staying isolated and no one of them is seriously ill.
She said the information was confirmed by public university VCs during a meeting held on Tuesday.
