The Maharashtra government on Thursday announced reopening of schools for classes 1 to 12 from January 24, with strict adherence to Covid protocols, a move supported by experts who say schools need not be closed, especially in places where case rates have been falling or hospital admissions have been stable.
In Delhi, officials suggested they will wait for more signs to take any decision on rolling back curbs, which meant schools — shut five times since April 2020 – continue to be closed even though teachers and experts warned this was derailing teaching-learning and adversely impacting the mental health of children.
While Maharashtra recorded 46,197 Covid-19 cases on Thursday, Delhi added 12,306 cases. In both regions, the number of new cases have fallen since peaks earlier this month.
