After the sudden rise in Covid patients, Admin Astik Kumar on Wednesday decided to close primary schools (class 1 to 8) till 1st February. Primary Schools were reopened 16 days ago.
The administration felt that it was necessary to stop students from going to the schools because of rising in patients figure. Admin issued orders for immediate closure of classes 1 to 8 from January 6 to 31. Students will have to take online education like in the past.
Schools were given a five-day week. Classes were also being conducted accordingly. However, the number of pandemic patients here has been increasing rapidly for the last two days. The administration and parents began to fear that even young children would be infected.
There were only 28 new patients were found in the city on Sunday. A total of 29 patients were found on Monday and 87 on Tuesday and this increased the concern of the AMC administrator.
