The Delhi government published instructions on Monday that included obtaining written agreement from parents, not sharing books and stationery, sanitising schools, and undertaking thermal scanning.
The Delhi government published rules on Monday, a day after Class 10 to 12 students were permitted to visit schools, including obtaining written approval from parents, avoiding sharing books and stationery, sanitising classrooms, and performing thermal scanning.
The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) said on August 8 that students in grades 10 to 12 can return to school on Monday for work connected to admissions and practical exercises for the board exam, as well as that health checkup camps on school grounds can continue.
“All pupils who wish to visit the school must receive written approval from their parents, and children must be accompanied by their parents or guardians if they are travelling to the school for health-related reasons.” “Online classes and digital distance learning shall continue, and those students who wish to continue their studies through online classes shall be permitted to do so,” according to the SOPs issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE), which also stated that the concerned head of school will create a specific schedule based on the capacity of the classroom and labs while exhibiting Covid-appropriate behaviour. Students may be instructed not to share books, copies, or stationery goods, among other things,” according to the Department of Education.
The department has ordered that all employees and children be thermally scanned before entering the school and that anyone with a cold, cough, fever or flu-like symptoms will not be permitted to attend.
“Proper sanitization of school premises should be guaranteed, including frequent sanitization of common locations like as washrooms and locker rooms,” it stated, adding that “the head of schools should ensure that all instructors and staff get vaccinated on a priority basis.”
In March of last year, schools in the national capital were shuttered as part of a statewide lockdown to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
In January of this year, schools were partially reopened for Classes 9 to 12, but were shuttered again in April because to the aggressive second wave of COVID-19.
Last month, the government announced that auditoriums and assembly halls in schools and educational institutions might be utilised for training and meetings if they are 50% full.
