Mysore/Mysuru: Even as Karnataka reported its first COVID-19 case in Bengaluru yesterday and with the State Government announcing a week-long holiday (Mar.10 to 17) for classes from Pre-Nursery to 5th standard in BBMP and Bengaluru Rural District limits, the Education authorities in Mysuru said there will be no such holiday in the district.
Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, DDPI Dr. Panduranga said that there was no directive from the Government so far on shutting down Primary Schools in the district due to coronavirus scare. Likewise there is no instruction from the District Administration either. However, the DDPI has instructed all BEOs and School Head Masters to ensure that students do not gather in large groups and that no prolonged meetings are held by the Department authorities. Also, he has asked the officials to suitably split the issues that come up during meetings if they are too long, as a precautionary measure.
