The education minister has denied reports that Class 10 board examinations in Maharashtra have been cancelled due to high COVID-19 cases.
MUMBAI: Maharashtra school education minister Varsha Gaikwad on Friday said the Class 10 and 12 board examinations will be held in the state. She denied reports that the Class 10 examination has been cancelled due to the surge in coronavirus cases in the state.
In schools where coronavirus cases have been found, local authorities have been directed to ensure that necessary hygiene and disinfection measures are taken, the minister said. Considering the rise in cases in some districts, the local administration has been asked to close schools for some time from March 1 if felt necessary, Gaikwad said.
