Chennai:
The Tamil Nadu government has reversed its decision to reopen schools from November 16 for classes 9 and above, nearly two weeks after it announced the reopening for classes 9 to 12 with coronavirus safety norms.
Colleges and universities will start from December 2 only for research scholars and final year postgraduate students of science and technology streams, the government said. They too were scheduled to reopen on November 16.
Tamil Nadu, which has over 7.5 lakh coronavirus cases, including 11,415 deaths, is the state with the fourth-highest caseload in India.
The state on Wednesday reported 2,184 new COVID-19 cases and 28 deaths.
