The education ministry in a statement on Tuesday urged all not to get misled, saying a group was spreading rumours that the government has announced a closure of educational institutions. Some of these countries have closed educational institutions to stop the outbreak. Some educational institutions were closed on Monday due to the Holi festival. The educational institutions will continue to operate normally for now, Health Minister Zahid Maleque said on Monday. Education Minister Dipu Moni has said the decision, if required, to close down education institutions will be taken if the experts advise in favour of such a move.
