As the Maha states are leading the way in terms of highest coronavirus cases, we see the Chief Minister, Mr Thackeray, announcing the shutdown of the schools and colleges by 31 March. Both schools and colleges in town have advised their students and staff to shut down schools in compliance with the orders obtained from City Collector’s Office. Now we see the schools sending messages about the school’s closure to children and their parents.
Some of them have been seen shut down until March 21st, while others have similar dates and will hit March 31st. In view of the test date, the schools are also concerned with clearing the exams of the students. This Saturday, Commissioner of the NMC, Mr Tukaram, declared an order from the government calling for schools to close by 31 March.
The parents and guardians welcomed the decision and are pleased to see the state CM decide quickly and order the schools and colleges to shut down as soon as possible. The schools that were to make decisions included the Modern School and School of Scholars that had previously declared students and teachers the holidays in their classes. The CM has also requested all public places such as theatres, fitness centres, etc. to stop due to the outbreak of the virus. Stay tuned only with us to learn more about this news and others.
