After detection of three cases of Covid-19 each, the district administration has decided to seal two prominent educational institutions in the capital from Monday.

Though the district administration has been trying to inform citizens concerned, it will be the responsibility of Islamabad College for Boys, G-6/3, and Islamabad Model College for Girls, F-7/4, to convey the decision to students and staff about the closure.
