On the 7th of July, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, reviewed the current Wuhan virus situation and took the decision. According to the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Government, the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases are under control with the efforts of the State Medical Department and the people of A.P.
Following the controlled situation, the YSRCP President decided to reopen schools and conduct offline classes from the 16th of August. The State Education Department would issue a notification regarding the same, marking the beginning of the new academic year (2021-2022) which was delayed.
