Dubai's KHDA takes steps to ease concerns over COVID-19

Dubai’s private education regulator has released an online explainer to answer questions related to COVID-19.

The document posted on the Knowledge and Human Development Authority’s (KHDA) website covers common queries that parents might have.

It will be updated regularly to include all the questions they receive.

The KHDA has reiterated that it’s in close contact with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and other official entities that are monitoring the situation.

We all want to make sure our children stay safe at school. We’ve answered some of the questions you’ve asked us - we’ll be adding to this document regularly so please check back for updates.https://t.co/Dik9LVx2z1
