PAPUA - The Puncak Jaya Regency Government in Papua Province regulates the implementation of face-to-face learning in schools in an effort to prevent an increase in cases of COVID-19 transmission.

"Actually, based on the green zone, we can carry out teaching and learning activities face-to-face, but to avoid things that are not desirable, we continue to follow instructions from the central government," said Puncak Jaya Regent Yuni Wonda as quoted by Antara, Sunday, June 13.

Regent Yuni added, face-to-face learning will be carried out in stages. For example, if the number of students in a class of 30 people will be divided into two groups.

"15 people study in the morning and the rest in the afternoon or evening," explained Regent Yuni.

If the arrangement is not possible, he said, then the school can arrange the distribution of participants in teaching and learning activities in schools according to the situation and conditions in their respective environments.

"So for example today five people, tomorrow five people, the day after tomorrow five people and so on, this is expected to prevent children from COVID-19," he said.

He emphasized that health protocols to prevent transmission of the corona virus must be carried out during face-to-face learning at schools.
