Telangana: 'Was Forced To Send Son To School': Parent Blames School As Kid Tests Covid Positive

The school failed to take necessary precautions alleged parents, adding that many kids were down with Covid-like symptoms

Hyderabad: After a class 9 student tested positive for Covid-19, a private school in Hyderabad's Banjara Hills was forced to shift offline classes to online classes on Thursday. The school failed to take necessary precautions alleged parents, adding that many kids were down with Covid-like symptoms.

“As the schools stopped concentrating on children attending online classes, I was forced to send my son to school. Within two days, my son started developing Covid-19 symptoms. Today, I am taking the Covid-19 test as one of his classmates tested positive for the virus,” a parent, whose son is studying in class 9, said as quoted by The Times of India.

The school which resumed offline classes from November 1 is now forced to shift classes to online mode again. The school management was hellbent to start the classes in offline mode despite requesting them and the parents were left with no other option, said the parent. "My son went to school for hardly two days and he is down with fever now," said the parent, according to a report in TOI.

Parents demanded that the management should guarantee that all the Covid-19 protocols are being followed strictly. They also said that now the school should be accountable and trace out all the contacts with the student who tested positive for Covid.

Parents further reportedly said that the Covid cases should have been showing up in several schools but the managements are concealing the truth and slowly shifting to online classes.
