The director of health services, health and family welfare department, Dr Ajoy Chakraborty, observed that it might be more challenging to control the Covid situation since people did not behave in a sensible manner, which was expected during this pandemic situation.
"We want students to go to schools. Currently, the Covid infection rate is one per cent. If the third wave is not dangerous then schools would be reopened. As Durga Puja is a few days later and schools are closed during the festive period till Diwali, we have decided that schools can reopen after that Prior to this, all schools will be sanitised,”
“We discussed the issue. We are planning to reopen schools on every alternative day once the puja vacation is over,”
