Definitely, it’s a piece of horrifying news from the state of Haryana that, this state surprisingly witnessed a spike in detecting the fresh Omicron cases over the last few days. Now Haryana Government decided to impose new restrictions in the state in which all the schools and colleges have now been closed on 12th January.
A few days before the schools and colleges were reponed in Haryana as the state reported a remarkable downtrend in COVID-19 cases. Meanwhile, there was also a proposal of resuming offline classes with 100% capacity from 1st December 2021 but unfortunately, the fear of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron halted everything and offline classes continued with 50% capacity.
