According to district surveillance officer Dr Pravin Damor the boy was tested positive on March 6.
Taluka health officer (THO), Dhansura, Dr Yagnesh Goswami said, “The boy is from adjacent Botal village and not from Panch Kuhada village. After he was infected with coronavirus, we had asked the school authority to close the school. However, the next day it was Sunday and on Monday they sought approval and on Tuesday the school was closed.”
The attendance in the school was already low since the reopening. Goswami said that the infected student was not attending the classes since March 4, so there was less possibility of spread of infection.
