The ongoing practical examinations which started on Friday will however continue as per schedule. Schools which are in containment zones will have to make arrangements to conduct the exams in other schools.

The government has also said universities, colleges and all other educational institutions should conduct all classes and examinations only online. Summer camps too have been banned in view of rising Covid-19 cases.
