Myanmar's Central Committee on Prevention, Control and Treatment for COVID-19 on Saturday announced further extension of the closure of schools nationwide until the end of October, Xinhua reported.

The move was made in order to curb the spread of COVID-19 and to make preparations for reopening schools, the committee said.

The Ministry of Health has been administering COVID-19 vaccine doses to middle and high school students aged over 12 years since Oct. 12.
