He also reminded parents to obtain information only from trusted sources such as the City Information Office and schools, to avoid unnecessary panic.
The official expressed gratitude for the support of the community and local government in ensuring that learning remains uninterrupted. He emphasized that through resilience and discernment, the future of children will remain bright despite the challenges they face.
