Due to many students getting pink eye (conjunctivitis), Punjab’s temporary Chief Minister, Mohsin Raza Naqvi, has said that all government and private schools in Punjab, including Lahore, will be closed on 28th September 2023. This is to stop the eye infection from spreading to more students.
Starting from the next Monday, students up to grade 10 will be checked for signs of pink eye when they enter school. If they have symptoms of the infection, they will be told to see a doctor and won’t be allowed in school until they are better.
Pink eye makes your eyes red, itchy, and watery, and it can spread quickly, especially in places like schools where many students are close together.
This school break is for all students up to grade 10. While the schools are closed, they will be thoroughly cleaned to make sure the infection doesn’t spread.
