They have mentioned that since the schools have reopened the students with low immunity would get affected with fever easily.
Truth is that if one student gets affected with fever then other students could also get affected easily. Therefore, if a student gets affected with fever, then the student must be advised to take complete rest in their house to prevent spreading of fever.
The officials concluded that if many students get affected then the school premises must be sanitised, local primary health centres must be approached and medical camps must be organised.
