Better if schools can be shut for two weeks too. Already few schools have had positive cases. Better be safe than sorry and let only the adults go to work if they can’t work from home for the next 2 weeks.

This person should be renamed as "Mr. Postponed". Opening Universities, Releasing exam results, Conducting exams are the core themes for this old minister.
