On Monday, it is first day back to school for ninth and tenth graders Tripadma School in Patan. But the basketball court is empty. There are no students loitering in the school grounds like they used to.

The school is running classes in shifts, there is no lunch break and students bring snacks and water from home.
 
Principal Kadam Baba Pradhan is on an inspection, and tells a visitor: “We have to take every possible safety measure to ensure that the pandemic stays out of school. Once it’s inside it will be a breeding ground, it’s a risk.”
