NEW DELHI: The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Gautam Buddh Nagar on Tuesday told the Indo-Asian News Service that 40 students of Shriram Millenium School, Noida, have been sent to an isolation ward for 28 days for coming into contact with an infected patient.
As Careers360 earlier reported , the school was shut to be “sanitised” as a parent, who had recently returned from Italy, had tested positive for Covid-19. Covid-19 is the disease caused by the coronavirus.
The patient had held a party in Agra on February 28 which was attended by students of the school. The patient tested positive on March 2.
The students have been tested and are being kept in isolation. The results of the tests are yet to be announced.
The CMO Anurag Bhargava said: “School will be closed for a day or two now. During this time it will be sanitized. The process of sanitizing the school will take one to two days,”
Officials from the Health Ministry have reached the spot to sanitise the school as well as take samples for further tests to verify if others in contact with the student or his parents have been infected with coronavirus, IANS reported.
