Friday urged the Hemant Soren government to shut all educational institutions in the state in wake of the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Referring to Bihar which announced a similar shutdown, Marandi said schools, colleges and other institutions where people gather in large numbers should be closed as a preventive measure.

He said the government should take precautions to prevent any outbreak as Jharkhand is a poor state.
