MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 23rd April, 2019) All private Catholic schools in Sri Lanka will be closed until April 29 after a series of deadly bombings that killed almost 300 people, local media reported on Monday.
According to Ivan Perera, the director of Sri Lanka's Catholic schools, this is a precautionary measure that was taken in light of the current security situation in the country.
The Daily Mirror newspaper has reported earlier citing Sri Lanka's education Ministry that all schools would be closed on Monday and Tuesday in the wake of the attacks.
On Easter Sunday, Sri Lanka was hit by a series of coordinated bombings in churches and hotels, which killed at least 290 people and left about 500 others injured.
