ICMR DG Dr. Balram Bhargava said that we clearly know that children can handle viral infections better than adults. Antibody exposure is the same in children as in adults. Some Scandinavian countries have not closed their primary schools during any of the COVID times.
Dr. Balram Bhargava said that if India thinks about this, it would be wise to open a primary school before opening a secondary school. All support staff of school bus drivers, teachers, and other school staff need to be vaccinated.
The Punjab government has decided to reopen schools for class 10th, 11th and 12th students in the state from July 26. However, in view of Corona, the government has set some conditions for this.
According to the decision of Captain Amarinder Singh’s government, the children who come to school will have to take the approval of their parents first. Also, it has been said in the order that the staff and teachers of the school should be fully vaccinated (both doses of vaccine have been administered).
