The school was turned into a Corona Care Centre and would soon be shifted to the GNM Nursing School at Pahamsyiem, Kurbah said.
At present, there are four Corona Care Centres in the district —State Institute of Rural Development (SIRD), Nongsder, Conservation Training Institute (CTI), Byrnihat, Tourism Center, Umling and St. Pauls Higher Secondary School.
