Classes 6-11 to resume from Feb 8 in Uttarakhand

NEW DELHI: The Uttarakhand government on Thursday issued orders asking schools all over the state to resume Classes 6 to 11 offline from February 8. However, it also asked the school administrations to ensure COVID-19 appropriate behavior on part of both students and teachers.

The order issued by Chief Secretary Om Prakash asked the schools to appoint a nodal officer to see that regular sanitizing of classrooms, thermal screening of each student and teacher mask-wearing and social distancing norms are complied with.

Classes 10 and 12 have been open in the state since November last year. The decision for physical resumption of Classes 6-11 from February 8 had been taken by the state cabinet recently.
