225 students test positive for Covid-19 at Maharashtra school hostel
In a development that should caution authorities in Kashmir ahead of reopening of schools in the valley next week, 225 students have tested positive for COVID-19 at a single school in the southern state of Maharashtra barely a week after they joined the hostel. Apart from the students, four teachers have also contracted the disease at Washim hostel prompting authorities to declare the entire school premises as a containment zone.
Over 300 students at the school are from Vidarbha region, mostly from Amravati and Yavatmal, the two districts, which have emerged as the worst hit by the Coronavirus lately. Pertinently, Maharashtra has emerged as the worst pandemic-hit state having already recorded 51,937 of the 1,56,705 COVID-19 deaths in India so far.
