The decision to close schools will be based on the positivity ratio, the department's statement clarifies
Lahore: Schools across the province will not be closed for now, as the decision on their closure will be based on COVID-19 test results, Punjab school education department said on Saturday.
"Schools are not being closed for now. Tests will be conducted first in schools," the education department said in a statement after the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) revised guidelines for educational institutes.
The decision to close schools will be based on the positivity ratio, it said, adding that health department teams have geared up to start testing in educational institutions.
A day earlier, the National Command and Operation Centre had announced that all schools with a high COVID-19 positivity ratio would remain closed for one week across the country.
