Classes, universities and educational institutions in Al-Qatif region have been suspended for two weeks, starting Sunday, due to the novel Coronavirus.

The decision was issued yesterday at 9:20 PM and included 319 schools to ensure the students’ safety.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education launched an alternative educational method through online learning or virtual school, using a specially designated website or smart-phone application. Hence, students will be able to resume their studies from home. There will also be a direct communication between students and educational staff to answer their questions.

The decision was issued after the detection of 7 coronavirus cases and the disclosure of 128 persons about their travel in Iran, of which 26 are now back in the kingdom.

#تعليق_الدراسة بمدارس #القطيف
خطوة احترازية ضرورية للسيطرة على انتشار #فيروس_كورونا ولكن مدن ومحافظات المنطقة الشرقية متشابكة ومتداخلة وليست معزولة عن بعضها ، وكان من الأجدر تعليق الدراسة في عموم المنطقة الشرقية لمنع تنقل وانتشار هذا المرض..

حفظ الله الوطن ، كل الوطن من كل سوء..
