“Nineteen students tested positive over the last three to four days. All are isolated and hospitalised. Most of them have no symptoms and some have only mild illness,” informed Ahmednagar district collector Rajendra Bhosale and added that all have mild illness.
“We are conducting RT-PCR testing of remaining students as well as teachers, non-teaching staff and visitors,” Bhosale added.
