Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha on Sunday said that the government decided to extend the holidays by a month to protect the leraners from contracting the Coronavirus disease that has so far infected 355 and killed 14 people in the country.
“During this period there will be many interventions that will come up depending on how the government is able to control COVID-19,” said Prof. Magoha during Sunday’s briefing on status of COVID-19 in the country.
