Kohima, February 5 (MTNews):
The government of Nagaland has modified its earlier restrictions imposed on school students for preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the state. The modified restriction order states that any student of Class IX and above, and who has completed 15 years of age, shall be allowed to attend regular/offline classes, only if he/she has taken at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19. If not vaccinated, then the students, according to the modified order, should have been tested negative for COVID-19 through either RT-PCR/True Nat/CBNAAT once in every 15 days.
It may be mentioned here that the government modified the order in pursuance of an order by the High Court issued on February 2.
