At least 10 girl students of a government-run school have tested positive for coronavirus infection in Madhya Pradesh's Betul district, an official said on Saturday.

The local administration has decided to shut the school for a week after the infections were detected among Class 12 students.

The reports of these students came out positive for the infection on Saturday, he said, adding that reports of 25 more students are awaited.

In accordance with the state government's directives, the school had reopened for students from Classes 9 to 12 on December 18 and classes were being conducted with 50 per cent capacity for each class on alternate days, Namdeo said.
