Schools should be reopened in a staggered way: AIIMS chief

It is known that schools in the country have been closed since the beginning of the Covid-19. Classes have been conducted online ever since. In October last year, the central government allowed schools to reopen in a phased manner. But the decision was later reversed due to the second wave.

Now, the Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi says that the country should reopen schools in a staggered way.

Speaking to reporters to this extent, Dr Randeep Guleria said, “I am a proponent of opening up schools in a staggered way, for districts that are seeing less virus circulation. It can be planned for places having positivity rates below 5 percent.”

Guleria also said that schools can be instantly shut if surveillance hints at the spread of Covid-19. He added that many of the children have developed natural immunity as they had a good deal of exposure to the virus in India.
