"Schools, where positive Covid-19 cases have been detected, will only be closed after a risk analysis and assessment have been conducted," he told reporters after the Jelajah Malaysia Prihatin programme with Parents and Teachers Associations (PTAs) in Perlis at Arau Civic Hall, near here, Sunday.
Radzi said the district health office be able to gauge the situation better after carrying out an in-depth analysis on the risk of Covid-19 transmission in the area.
"In this context, if the PKD decides that a certain class must be closed, then we will close that class.
"Likewise, should they say a certain floor of the building needs to be closed then we will close that floor," he said.
