Above 200 — schools here may be closed. Melebihi 200 — sekolah boleh ditutup. Under Surat Pekeliling Ikhtisas Bil. 1/2019, schools, tadika and taska in areas recording an IPU above 200 may be closed. The decision rests with the principal or headmaster on the advice of the JPN and PPD, so check your own school before acting.
