NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ruled out the reopening of schools in the national capital for now. “Schools are not reopening for now,” Kejriwal told. The government had earlier announced that schools will continue to remain closed till October 31 in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Universities and schools across the country have been closed since March 16, when the Centre announced a countrywide classroom shutdown as part of the measures to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
While several restrictions have been eased in different phases of “unlock”, educational institutions continue to remain closed. However, as per “unlock” phase guidelines, states can take a call about reopening schools in phases. Earlier, schools were allowed to call students from class 9 to 12 to school on a voluntary basis from September 21. But the Delhi government decided against it.
