Is the COVID-19 pandemic over yet? doesn’t really look so. Fresh Covid-19 cases are showing an alarming upward trend over the past week. In a recent report, more than 220 students tested positive for novel coronavirus all across the country in the last 24 hours.
In Maharashtra’s Wasim district a residential school has confirmed that over 225 students and four school staffers have tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday. Following the incident, the school’s premises have been shut down and the area was declared a containment zone.
“The infected students and employees have been quarantined at a government hostel near the city,” an official was quoted as saying.
