  "account": "All schools in Selangor will resume normal operations tomorrow, according to the state education department. Parents or guardians who have concerns about their children's health are permitted to keep them at home, but they must notify the school. This announcement comes as recent rain showers seem to have alleviated the haze pollution in the region, which was caused by fires in Indonesia. Despite the improvement, air quality figures continue to be moderate, registering below 100 across the country. The environment department's air quality map, as of the evening, indicated moderate levels of air pollution (green areas) and low levels (blue areas). However, the department emphasized that schools, parents, and guardians should remain vigilant about any changes in air quality and adhere to the instructions and precautionary measures issued by the authorities.",
  "summary": "However, the education department advises schoolchildren to wear face masks, particularly those sensitive to haze conditions.",
