Based on National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority’s (NCEMA) statement on easing Covid-19 restrictions, Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) announced reducing Covid -19 restrictions in all its educational institutions.
The announcement includes that wearing masks is optional in closed and opened areas, updating the Green Pass in Al Hosn app, and other decisions that have been issued based on the great decline in Covid -19 cases in the country.
Ali Al Hosani, Director of the Sharjah Private Education Authority, stressed the authority’s keenness in implementing government decisions, praising at the same time the great cooperation shown by private school administrations and their contribution to facing the pandemic.
The authority also announced the abolition of the fixed-group system for kindergartens and the reduction of the period of isolation for Covid -19 patients to only five days, and the abolition of quarantine for people who closely contact with Covid -19 patients, with the necessity of following up on the health status of those with chronic diseases for a period of not less than seven days after contact.
The authority confirmed the continuity of implementing the green pass system through Al Hosn app, with the validity of a negative nasal swab that does not exceed 30 days, for parents and visitors to enter educational institutions.
