CORONAVIRUS | The Health Ministry is still mulling whether to allow taska (kindergartens) to reopen during the conditional movement control order (MCO), said its director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

He said that the ministry has received applications from factories and industries to allow kindergartens to resume operations, but that the ministry is concerned about the risk of infection due to children being in close proximity in kindergartens.
