At least 57 students of a TTD-run vedic school at Tirumala have tested positive for the coronavirus.
"TTD management has shifted the students immediately to SVIMS (Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences) super specialty hospital at Tirupati for better treatment," said a Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) official on Wednesday.
However, the students were mandated to carry along with them the Covid negative test report, after the resumption of the classes.
The vedic school run by the TTD reopened for classes post Covid lockdown when all the students returned with their Covid negative reports.
