Dharwad: DC Nitesh Patil on Wednesday ordered a cessation of classes on campus for grade 1 to 8 from Thursday.
Orders suspend the offline class in all schools in the city of Dharwad, Dharwad Rural, Hubballi City and Rural Hubballi to further notice.
As many as 50 children and 11 teachers here have been tested positive for Covid-19 in the last four days.
The decision was taken after the Patil meeting had a health and education department official.
However, the physical class will be held as usual in another net.
After the neighboring country belookavas announced school closure two days ago, a number of private schools in the city suspended offline classes.
Some parents urge administration to consider suspending offline classes.
In a separate order, Deputy Director of Public Instruction Dharwad on Wednesday said all grade 1 to 8 teachers must continue to attend school and teach online.
Block education officers held a virtual meeting with the principal and explained to them about online classes until the offline class continued.
