Gujranwala: Owners of some 2,500 private schools in Gujranwala have offered the buildings of these institutions to the authorities concerned for establishing isolation wards and quarantine centres, a news source reported. To this effect, they have stated that these schools have nearly 20,000 classrooms.
The National Association of Private Schools (NAPS) has gathered all the relevant data on the matter. The association has already gathered complete data of all the classrooms from the owners of these schools. Now the data has been offered to the local administration, where the latter may be able to establish quarantine centres or isolation wards, as needed.
Speaking on the occasion, NAPS Central President Sajjad
Chisti said that his association will support the administration in these
difficult times. He added that in case the COVID-19 pandemic spreads in
Gujranwala, these schools could be used to contain it.
