Delhi Schools To Remain Shut Till Further Orders As Covid Cases Surge

All schools in Delhi will continue to be closed till further orders in view of the COVID-19 situation, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said today, adding that even parents are not in favour of resuming regular classes.

The reiteration comes as Delhi experiences a fresh surge in Covid cases. Yesterday, the national capital saw record number of new infections – 4,853. The uptick in local cases has worried people in Delhi, where pollution adds to the threat upcoming winter and laxity during festival season may pose.
