He appealed students who took a part in limited PTM to use school bus fleets when going to and returning from school. He also reminded them to comply with health protocols while on the bus by reducing talking to each other to reduce the potential exposure to COVID-19.

When operating school buses, he added, his side continues to implement health protocols, such as spraying all buses with disinfectant before and after operating. Before students ride the bus, the crew check their body temperature first. Besides, the crew also distributed mask to the students.
