Thereby, 13 schools in Anuradhapura Education Zone remain closed until Friday, the Governor of North Central Province announced. In addition, all schools in Kantale Education Zone (Trincomalee District), and Mahaoya and Ampara education zones (Ampara District) will be closed this week, according to the Eastern Province Governor.
