This is in response to the report “Schools instructed to take all precautions” in Saudi Gazette (April 28). It is humbly requested of the Saudi government to pay extraordinary attention to the school kids regarding coronavirus in schools. As it is noted that till now, parents have not received any instruction from school administration regarding coronavirus. Dr. Asif Mahmood, via online Pay attention to schools The fear of having any children infected by the virus is tremendous. I wish to request the new minister to please pay special attention for the schoolchildren. If closing down schools is the best option then I think it should be taken. I would also like to request any statistics about the people who got infected, was the virus communicated from person to person or through close proximity to camels or through mosquito bites. Ahmed, via online Please take action now It is better that schools are closed now, at least the kindergarten classes for sometime. And they can announce exemption from putting attendance for other classes. We should not wait for the first case to happen in school to take further action. Amer, via online
