Mizoram Govt decides to shut reopened schools due to rising Covid-19 cases

The Mizoram government has decided to close the schools that were reopened for students of classes 10 to 12. The state government has taken this decision keeping in mind the rising number of locally transmitted Covid-19 cases, Education Minister Lalchhandama Ralte said on Sunday, reported by PTI.

“The schools, that were reopened for the students of the two classes on October 16, besides hostels, will remain closed from



Monday as the state will observe ‘covid-19 no tolerance fortnight”, the minister said, reported by PTI.

The minister said that if the situation improved and the chain of local transmission is broken during the drive, the schools and hostels are likely to reopen on November 9.

He further added that the registrations for next year’s board examinations are under process, and online classes will continue.
