Another report states that 19 out of 33 students tested Covid-19 positive at Kund Government School in the Khol area of Rewari. The school has been closed for three days and sanitized.
“Due to the festive season, there is movement and people are meeting each other, so we tested students of 12 schools. We will continue testing students to curb COVID19 spread,” Nodal Officer in Rewari said.
After these incidents, the state government has decided to conduct COVID tests across the state. On the other hand, the state’s Health Department is now on high alert to contain the coronavirus spread among school-going students.
The development comes after the schools for classes 9 to 12 in the state were reopened a few days ago after remaining shut for nearly seven months due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Of the 25 fatalities, six were from Rohtak, five from Hisar, four from Faridabad, three each from Gurgaon and Panipat, and one each from Ambala, Karnal, Kurukshetra, and Fatehabad.
