Families with children under 16 years can request exemption from institutional quarantine, according to the Ministry of Social Development’s Relief and Shelter Sector.
Hamoud bin Mohammed al Mundhiri, spokesman of the Sector, informed Muscat Daily that families may be exempted if the children have no one, like grandparents, to take care of them.
Following a flurry of social media activity, the Sector clarified that children under 16 are only exempted from institutional quarantine if certain conditions are met.
