Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Khurda, Odisha, has closed for seven days due to a jaundice outbreak affecting over 50 of its 560 students. The school principal advised parents to take students home until January 14 to prevent further spread and allow for sanitation and health monitoring. Water samples have been collected for testing, with authorities investigating potential causes including the school's borewell water or external food sources, as the public water supply is reportedly monitored.
