Schools in Delhi to remain closed till further orders, says Manish Sisodia

Delhi’s Education Minister Manish Sisodia announced that government and private schools will remain closed till further notice. Parents are not in favour of reopening schools either, Sisodia said at an online press conference. The Delhi government had earlier announced that schools will remain closed till October 31.

 “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,” Sisodia said.

Delhi has reported 4,853 new coronavirus cases and 44 deaths related to the virus in the past 24 hours, data showed Tuesday (October 27) night. Data also showed that 2,722 people had been discharged after treatment in the past 24 hours. The total number of Covid19 cases recorded in the city has now crossed 3.64 lakh, of which active cases are 27,873, deaths are 6,356 and recoveries are 3.3 lakh.
