ANOTHER COVID THREAT

Parents should educate their children about the need to maintain hygiene in schools; the Delhi government has started providing precautionary doses for Covid

AS Covid rise slowly in the Capital, the Delhi's Directorate of Education (DoE) on April 14 issued an advisory asking schools to temporarily shut down a section or the whole premises if a student or staff tests positive. The advisory directed managers and heads of private schools to take all precautionary measures such as masking, sanitization, distancing and spreading awareness in the light of the increased positivity rate. The advisory also called for washing hands regularly, using sanitizers and creating awareness about the prevention of Covid-19 among students, teachers and other supporting staff and parents.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia have asked residents not to panic as there has not been a rise in hospitalization. They have said that the government is closely monitoring the situation.

Classes 9-12 had reopened in a hybrid mode on February 7, while nursery to Class 8 reopened on February 14 in the national capital. However, schools began to function fully offline from April 1. DoE said on March 1 that the consent of parents would not be mandatory for offline classes or exams for students of Classes 10 and 12, adding that schools can conduct offline classes and exams for Classes 10 and 12.

Schools in the national capital are running in offline mode. As a result, several schools have been reporting positive Covid cases. Schools in Noida have already received an advisory from the health department in Gautam Buddh Nagar as many students tested positive for Covid. Daily Covid cases and positivity rate in Delhi have seen an upward trend in the last few days.
