Reopening of schools

However, the district administration has not yet taken any decision concerning the reopening of schools after the summer vacation in a week.

“There is no need to take extreme measures. Schools reopen only after a week. We expect to bring the situation under complete control by then. The situation is under control in the last two to three days. The number of newly infected cases is very low now,” said the Collector.

Several private entrance coaching centres in the district have also closed down temporarily.
