Jerebu: Tiada taska diarah tutup, aktiviti luar dihentikan

Keputusan untuk tidak mengarahkan penutupan taska secara menyeluruh mengambil kira keperluan ibu bapa yang bergantung kepada perkhidmatan itu ketika bekerja.

Jerebu: Tiada taska diarah tutup, aktiviti luar dihentikan

The manager of Women's Development, Family and Community Affairs, Nancy Shukri, has stated that there are no day care centers (taska) being shut down due to the unrest, but all outdoor activities must be halted to reduce children's exposure to polluted air. The decision to not fully close down day care centers is to accommodate the needs of parents who rely on the service while working.

Parents are given the discretion to decide whether to send their children to day care or not, especially in areas where schools have been closed due to high air pollution index readings. The authorities understand that some parents cannot leave their children at home without someone to care for them, so they may discuss with their employer or the respective taska management about the necessary steps.

However, the main priority is that children are not allowed to play outside. Nancy also advised parents to take their children for a doctor's check-up if they exhibit symptoms of illness as the unrest continues.
