新加坡無停學但禁咗補習社,佢又講得幾有道理
Our focus is on the risk of spreading the virus, while maintaining daily life as much as possible.
For an adult, work is essential, entertainment less so. Hence we closed entertainment outlets. For a student, school is essential, but tuition and enrichment are not.
In school, we have arranged things such that students pretty much mingle only with their classmates. So if there is a confirmed case in school, we are able to contact trace very quickly and control the risk of virus spread by quarantining the class.
However, if there is a confirmed case in a tuition centre, it may mean students from many schools are at risk.
