New Delhi : Delhi Schools To Remain Closed Till 5th October, Online Classes To be Continue

New Delhi: Schools in Delhi will stay closed till October 5, the city’s Directorate of Education has declared amid a spike in coronavirus cases in the capital. Online classes will continue but teachers or staff can be called to school to continue teaching or learning activities and online classes, the Directorate said in an official note on Friday.
“All schools will remain closed for all students till 05.10.2020. However, online classes and teaching-learning activities will continue as usual and HoS (Heads of Schools) are authorized to call teachers/ staff (as per requirement) for smooth conduct of online classes, teaching-learning activities and any other work,” said the notification.

Delhi has 2,34,701 confirmed coronavirus cases and 4,887 deaths. A spurt in virus cases has raised concerns about a “second wave” of COVID-19 infections weeks after Delhi managed to bring down the rate.

The Delhi government also urged state-run schools to take over online classes, which are currently being conducted by the Directorate of education.
