Rewari (Haryana): During the Corona pandemic, it is important to take every step with caution. Even the slightest lapse could result in anyone falling prey to this deadly disease. Due to this epidemic, the life and future of students are also at stake. On one hand, there is Corona and on the other hand, there is the pressure to shape the future. Perhaps that's why the Haryana government ordered the re-opening of schools for classes 9th to 12th and also colleges keeping in mind all the corona guidelines. But what happened after that was what had been feared from the start. Within just two weeks of re-opening of schools, 72 children were found corona infected in Rewari district.
After spreading infection, schools shut for 14 days
The district administration and the health department are in a state of panic after the students were found corona infected. In this regard, our team questioned the spokesperson of Rewari Education Department, Ashok Namwala, regarding the reason behind the cases of infection from schools. Could it be that the government guidelines were not followed in schools? On which Ashok Namwala says that the government is trying to find out about this. At present, the education department has decided to keep the schools where children have been found infected, shut for 14 days to carry out the sanitization process; at the same time the families of the infected children are also being tested for Corona.
Presently, the spread of Corona infection in schools of the district has become a matter of discussion all over the state; but the rules are still not being followed in the government schools here which are still open. For the girl students studying In the Government Girls Senior Secondary School in Rewari district, leave alone the seating plan, there is not even a proper seating arrangement. The students sit clinging to each other; in such a situation it is impossible to stop the spread of infection among the students. Tanya Sharma, a student studying in a government school in Rewari, says that nowadays there is an atmosphere of fear due to the corona infection, but education is also necessary, so the government and administration should make proper and extensive arrangements for the same.

Meanwhile, parents are also worried about the health of their children; at the same time, they are also worried that if the children do not study and continue to stay at home, then their intellectual development will stop. Therefore, the parents are demanding that the administration should make proper arrangements in the schools so that the children can continue studying safely.
Let it be known that this situation is not only prevalent in Rewari. After the re-opening of schools, cases of corona infection spread among children started being reported from all over the state.

Children can be very weak due to corona - Dr Ajay
In children, the immune system is also weak; in such a situation the attack of this dangerous virus weakens children physically and mentally.

Dr. Ajay Gupta, Vice President of Gurugram branch of the Indian Medical Association, says that the coronavirus has the same effect in children as it does in a young adult. Mild effects have been often observed, but it has also been seen that the child has died due to corona.
