Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has mentioned that schools in Delhi will remain closed till the vaccine is available. Sisodia, who is also the education minister of Delhi, said, “Until we get some vaccine, schools (in Delhi) are not likely to open.”
The educational institutes across the country have been shut down since March due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Sisodia had announced on October 30 that most of the parents in Delhi are not keen on the reopening of schools in the state due to the unsafe environment caused by the pandemic, and so, the schools will remain closed till further notice.
"We keep getting feedback from parents that they are really concerned about whether it is safe to reopen schools. It is not. Wherever schools have reopened, Covid-19 cases among children have risen. So we have decided that as of now schools in the national capital will not reopen. They will continue to be closed till further orders," he had said, as per PTI reports.
