91 Students turn positive after attending tuition classes in Kerala

Malappuram: Apart from the Marancherry and Vanneri schools, a few more schools in the vicinity have been closed for the time-being to arrest the spread.

A private tuition centre, attended by as many as 91 students of a government school at Marancherryin Ponnani here, who had recently tested positive, is suspected to be a ‘super-spreader’ of COVID-19, authorities said.

Even as more students, teachers and parents are being subjected to RT-PCR tests, following the unprecedented infection spike among students and teachers in two schools at nearby Ponnani, it has been found that the spread has come from a private tuition centre, where students used to go for coaching classes, he said. Apart from the Marancherry and Vanneri schools, a few more schools in the vicinity have been closed for the time-being to arrest the spread.

At least 22 students of these schools, who had also attended classes at the tuition centre, have been isolated and they would undergo RT-PCR tests on Wednesday.

Depending on their test results, it would be decided if higher secondary students in and around this area should also be subjected to COVID-19 tests.
