Kerala health Minister said that students in Kerala may have to wear masks
during the next academic session and added that this practice has already
become a norm for the students in several countries. Minister said that masks
will not go endlessly but as a precaution they will remain in practice for some
time.
"It's a
good culture. We will have to follow it in Kerala as well, if COVID-19 prevails
till the time of school reopening. Masks helped us lower the rate of COVID-19
spread and resultant deaths. Kerala has been battling the disease, earning good
results," Outlook quoted the Minister as saying.
Due to coronavirus
outbreak, schools have been shut down until May and now administration is
working on a new schedule to open the schools. The state is yet to conduct the
exams of annual secondary and higher secondary - SSLC and Plus Two –
examinations because the schedule was disturbed due to coronavirus.
To much
relief of the state, no fresh case of coronavirus was confirmed yesterday.
