In the past week a few schools were affected by covid-19, resulting in suspension of classes and increase in safety measures. After a meeting, DDMA officials decided that schools cannot shut down anymore because the education of students has already backtracked a lot in the last two years. Therefore, a separate Standard Operating Procedure will be used which will be consulted with the experts.

On Tuesday, according to the Delhi government’s health bulletin, a total of 632 fresh cases were reported. Amidst this rise of covid cases, CM Arvind Kejrival is keeping a close eye and has directed the officials to turn to aggressive testing and emphasizing on vaccination for age groups that are eligible.
