Delhi schools will be closed until October 31


All schools in the national capital will remain closed until October 31 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Delhi government had previously extended the closure of the school until October 5, although the Center had allowed students in classes 9 to 12 to be called to schools on a voluntary basis as of September 21.

“The decision to keep schools closed in Delhi will be extended. I have issued instructions for the closure of all schools in Delhi until October 31st. An order will be issued soon, “said Manish Sisodia. Hindustan Times.

Senior Vice Minister Manish Sisodia also has the education portfolio.

On March 25, the central government announced a national shutdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

According to the latest unlocking guidelines, schools, universities, and other educational institutions can reopen outside of the containment zones after October 15. However, the decision to reopen educational institutions was left to the states and territories of the union.
