As the COVID-19 cases dropped significantly over the past few weeks after a ravaging second wave in April-May, India’s top virologist Dr Gagandeep Kang on Thursday said schools should be reopened in a phased manner with vaccinated teachers and staff. 

While speaking to ANI, Dr Kang, also the vice-chairman of Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Board, said, “The schools should be reopened in a phased manner and the schools should be frequently sanitised. Social distancing should be maintained in the classrooms and all the staff must be vaccinated.”
