Jamshedpur: A day after two schools were shut in the Steel City, the East Singhbhum administration on Friday closed Loyola School in Bistupur after one of its senior teachers tested positive for Covid-19.
Other staff and students, who came in contact with the infected teacher, were asked to get themselves tested immediately. The administration also said random tests of teachers and students of schools in the district will start immediately.
While Loyola School principal, Fr Pius, was not available for a comment, a Class VIII student said, We are asked to stay home until further notice.
Earlier on Thursday, the district health officials sealed DBMS English School and Andhra Association English School (AAES), both located in the Kadma area, after two Class IX students of DBMS and a Class X teacher of AAES tested positive. Sources said all three schools are likely to be reopened on Monday after the sanitization process is over.
