Statements from the lawmakers came as rumours circulated about the closure of educational institutions after coronavirus cases were reported among pupils and teachers at many schools.

Earlier, the education minister had announced the resumption of educational activities from September 15 in a phased manner after new virus cases recorded a steady decline.

The government had in March decided to shut all education institutions to curb the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
