‘No widespread infection reported after school reopening’
A group of aided primary school managers has urged the State government to revoke the decision to go back to online mode of teaching for classes 1 to 9 after January 21 in the wake of a spike in COVID-19 cases.
Functionaries of the Kerala Aided (Primary) School Managers Association (KASMA) said on Saturday that the decision to close down schools alone had some ulterior motive. They pointed out that there had been no widespread surge in cases after the schools reopened on November 1. The students are coming to schools only for three days a week. There had been no reports of COVID clusters in schools or students going on leave en masse after contracting the infection.
