Centre mulls reopening schools, likely to issue advisory

The Union health ministry is likely to issue an advisory to states on reopening schools with Covid-appropriate norms, government sources told India Today. "The government is working on some model to open the schools due to increasing demands by parents. The health ministry has already asked its expert team to look into all the options for opening schools," the sources said. A few states and Union territories have already announced reopening of schools for classes 10 to 12 with some conditions.
