All Educational Institutions In Goa To Reopen From February 21

Covid-19 cases reduced in the state!

Goa is all ready to reopen its schools and other educational institutions. The state witnesses a slow down in its daily Covid count. The Goa government has decided to reopen all educational institutions from class 1 to 12 from February 21. 

On Thursday, the government issued an order stating, "As COVID-19 cases are reducing day by day in the state, it has been decided by the competent authority to re-open all the educational institutions from std. I to std. XII from February 21."

Schools that had only partially reopened late last year following a drop in cases for students of the higher classes were shut following a re-emergence of cases owing to the Omicron wave of the virus, except for primary and middle schools which haven’t opened yet for students to attend classes since they were shut at the time of the onset of the pandemic in March 2020 and instead schools were asked to hold online classes for students.

According to the state health department, the overall caseload reached 2,44,508, while the death toll went up to 3,785, adding that the recovery tally rose to 2,39,496 as 481 patients recuperated during the day.
