Jammu and Kashmir shut secondary level school after nine students tests COVID-19 positive

Authorities on Tuesday shut a secondary level school in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district after nine students tested positive for Covid-19.

An official said the students of a higher secondary (10 plus 2) school tested positive during a mass testing campaign of teachers and students.

Authorities said the school would remain closed for the next five days as a preventive measure.

Of late, there has been a spurt in the Covid positive cases in the union territory.

The number of active cases that had come down to less than a 1,000 has again increased as more and more positive cases are being reported in the union territory.
