RIYADH — The Ministry of Education announced on Sunday that offline classes for intermediate and secondary phases of public school education would be resumed for those students who received two doses of coronavirus vaccine.

This was announced by Ibtisam Al-Shehri, spokesperson of the ministry for public education.

She said that starting offline classes for students of elementary schools and kindergartens will be linked either to achieving herd immunity by receiving two doses of vaccine by 70 percent of the Saudi population or on Oct. 30, 2021, whichever comes first.

Al-Shehri urged all to rush to take vaccine to ensure a safe return to school.
