The other day, the Ministry of Health from the Government of India issued an advisory to the states recommending the Closure of all educational establishments (schools, universities, etc), gyms, museums, cultural & social centers, swimming pools, and theatres.
The Ministry specifically said Students should be advised to stay at home. Online education to be promoted. Several States have already shut down the schools and the rest have followed now. Telangana Government, the other day, announced taking action on 10 schools in Hyderabad for violating its order.
But then, everything has been calm and normal in Andhra Pradesh. The Government did not close the schools and colleges. The State Government is adamant in this aspect because it is arguing that there is no Corona threat for Andhra Pradesh for the next three weeks and the Local Elections should happen as planned.
But the Government is keeping the children at risk with this adamant nature. Currently, there is one confirmed case in Andhra Pradesh and there is another suspected case whose test results are pending.
