The devastation of the second coronavirus wave in the country has now started to subside. In Maharashtra too, the rise in growth of covid cases has started to show a declining trend. The process of unlocking has now started in the state after a decrease in covid cases. Meanwhile, schools that were closed during the Coronavirus period are likely to reopen for students in the state.

The school will re-open once again in the corona-free part of the state. The school will start in corona-free areas of the state. It has been decided to open classes VIII to XII in this area. Thus, the Gram Panchayat has been given the power in deciding to start a school.

Meanwhile, schools will have to follow strict rules once they resume classes. In schools, only one student will be allowed to sit on a bench. Also two benches will be spaced six feet apart. Students will also have to follow covid rules. They will also have to wash their hands regularly. The number of corona patients in the state has been steadily declining in the last few days. 

Maharashtra on Sunday reported 9,336 fresh coronavirus positive cases and 123 fatalities, taking the tally of infections to 60,98,177 and the toll to 1,23,030, the state health department said. A total of 3,378 patients were discharged during the day, leaving the state with 1,23,225 active cases, the department said in a release.
