Two English medium schools and the chief judicial magistrate court remained closed on Thursday after three persons including a ninth standard student tested positive for Covid-19 in the steel city on Wednesday.
The schools, both located in Kadma locality, are DBMS English School and Andhra Association School.
Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC) city manager, Ravi Bharti who looks after Covid control measures on behalf of the administration said authorities will seal both the schools so as to prevent the spread of the virus. As a large number of students used to come to these schools, there is always a great chance of the virus to spread to other students. We have decided to seal these schools and are waiting for the deputation of a magistrate for the job, said Bharti to The Telegraph Online.
