COVID-19 stands for coronavirus disease and is referred to as the new coronavirus or ‘2019-nCoV’ for 2019. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified COVID-19 as a global pandemic [1]. Because of COVID-19, thousands of school closures are being enforced worldwide. Among the Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia has reported a high number of COVID-19 positive cases [3]. On March 18, 2020, the Movement Control Order (MCO) was enacted in Malaysia [3]. The Minister of Health issued a set of regulations under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (the Act) as urgent measures to combat the spread of the Corona Virus. The MCO restricts movement, but has enforced the closure, whether public or private, of all non-essential premises, including kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities
