54 students of a school hostel in Haryana’s Karnal have tested positive for Covid-19, officials said. “Our medical teams have reached the spot and the hostel is being marked as a containment zone,” Yogesh Kumar Sharma, Karnal Civil Surgeon said.
In December last year, Haryana had allowed students from Classes 9 to 12 to go to schools. They reopened for those from Classes 3 to 5 from February 24.
Schools have opened in several states with caution amid rising COVID-19 cases in some states like Maharashtra and Punjab, a report in NDTV said.
